It's just about bein' yourself...even when you're on the dole, it's about your leather jacket. Music is the last refuge of the working class, along with football...in fact, gigs and riots are the only things left.

There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.

I've got a fierce passion for politics but I can't stand the smarmy, hypocritical upper-middle-class dictator nation that prevails and has always prevailed in this country. I'm up for petrol bombers, mate, and fighting in the streets.

'Each man kills the things he loves'. I recognise that in myself, in relationships, even with guitars, beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.

I'm not going to be hardened by these people, to these things, I'm not going to let them destroy my feelings or my emotions.

Open your heart. Don't be spiteful.

I have a very bad relationship with the future. We don't get on. We just ignore each other.
