There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.

Turn the other cheek too often and you get a razor through it.

Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.

It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.

I don't like the monikers, and I don't like being pigeonholed. You know, I'm a human being.

I've helped launch 49 careers - those that have been in PiL. To me, they are my babies; whatever they get up to, they know I love them. They've been living in my pockets, and they should show more gratitude.

I'd rather give up my ears than my eyes, which might sound unusual for a musician.
