I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.

U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.

I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va! If I had had the money I wouldn't have spent it on shit like that.

I have one major problem with the internet: It's full of liars. There doesn't seem to be any way to answer to people lying about you.

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.

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
