I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.

In the early 1980s, I got into a war with my management - they just kept on sueing me and I lost everything. So I had to go out on tour to make sure the electricity stayed on.

You can lose yourself in pleasure, 'til your body's going numb, but will it ever be enough.

I'm asthmatic. I was a lot bigger back then, and I still get winded on stage today. But I've learned how to pace it now. I have musical breaks in there.

When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.

Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place.

I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm EVER gonna love you. Now don't be sad, cause two out of three ain't bad.
