Daily papers in England used to have an entire page of the paper dedicated to what the Beatles had done the day before.

In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.

Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.

It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

It became kind of a fad in the late '70s to try to help people wake up out of comas by hearing things that they liked. I remember we sent out about six tapes. We heard that we were this one kid's favorite band so we sent a tape that said, "Hey this is Motörhead. It's time to wake up."

I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong - if it's ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for twenty years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!

People changing because they think they should is not a good idea, because I just don't think they should, really.
