It was like treading water all through the '60s, and when 1970 kicked in, I thought "We're here. Right." God, this is exciting. I'm going to go for it now. I really felt it was my time. Then Marc Bolan did it first. That really pissed me off.

I'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine.

Rock's always been the devil's music.

I don't like people probing into my life, so I reveal as little as possible or lie about it as much as need be so as to give them something to write about.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

Would you carry a razor, in case, just in case of depression?
