Punks in their silly leather jackets are a cliché. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

You should never, ever be understood completely. That's like the kiss of death, isn't it? It's a full stop. I don't ever think you should put full stops on thoughts. They change.

That's where money comes from, you work hard and you earn and then you spend it on correct things, and Public Image is a correct thing.

Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!

I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster; I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.

My biggest fear is mindlessly and stupidly repeating myself.
