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.

If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.

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.

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.

What do you have to do to get people to take an interest? I'm not going to go out and cause a silly sex scandal just to sell a record!

Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.

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.
