God is within you. God is a nice feeling. He's the flowers and smells and the nice things in life.

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

I do miss the social aspect of sitting in a pub with a pint but you know what when I get down to it I never went for a pint. I went to a pub to get f**ked up. If it was just going for a pint that would be ok but once I start I just can't stop.

I cannot turn down this incredible honor twice.
