If it's a band I like, I just hope they will survive it all. And I'll admit that if it's crap music, I hope they won't and it'll go away. Simply because there are too many great bands who should be heard in their place.

The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.

This is still a young man's game, so we have to stay young. Music allows you to do that, especially rock'n'roll.

You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.

I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.

I think what happens is when something becomes successful, then a lot of people take credit for it in such ways that it takes credit away from you.

Worship the music, not the musicians.
