For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.

I've always said, I thought the Sex Pistols was more Music Hall than anything else - because I think that really, more truths are said in humour than any other form.

For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.

Only the fakes survive.

I've been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn't do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don't think I'd want 10 songs to bring with me.

There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.
