I've only ever trusted my gut on everything. I don't trust my head, I don't trust my heart, I trust my gut.

I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.

I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn't matter what the genre; nowadays, it's so much harder than it ever was.

And I never forgot this as long as I've ever performed, no matter how crap I had felt before I went on stage. I just remember Tina Turner going up there, singing her heart out for everybody, and meantime she had a 102-degree fever and she was feeling terrible.

To be a celebrity, I couldn't think of anything more cringe-worthy.

I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime, played it 'til my fingers bled.

The concept that you are not ingesting rotting flesh sort of sums it up for me.
