They said I would never write this book. Well, f**k ’em – ’cos here it is. All I have to do now is remember something... Bollocks. I can’t remember anything.

For years I've had neurological problems. I used to shake a lot and I was on medication - I paid about $700,000 for one year of pills. I was taking 40-odd different ones a day.

I'm into rock'n'roll because rock'n'roll, to me, means freedom.

A Christian man is a man who is within himself, who puts out good vibes.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

Black illusion is all I ever see.

I feel joy when I do a great show.
