I do a lot of stuff for free anyway. Like a lot of people who you see who don't need money. Mick Jagger - he needs money? He just likes to go sing Satisfaction every night. If I wrote that song I probably would do it too.

The Ruts were a great punk rock band from England whose songs were as excellent as their time together was short.

Thank you for touching me. Some of the only moments worth living were spent with you. Not you especially, the collective you.

Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs.

I enjoy helping. I like doing benefits and things like that, but don't feel the need to be thanked or even meet the people I am doing the benefit for.

I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.

When you're little and you don't have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.
