I am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I put it all down - I'm out on a limb here, so watch my back.

The world goes on, you go on and you change. You want to show the fans those changes, and you want to be able to verbalize them.

They wouldn't play my records on American radio because I had spiky hair. They said, 'Punk rock doesn't sell advertising, it won't make any money.'

The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm stupid.

Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.

I rocked the cradle of love.

Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk.
