Some of the best times in my life happened under the influence of drugs... I'd still be doing it if I could make good judgement calls. I'd still be doing it if I didn't blow up to the size of an aircraft hangar, because it was a great time.

I can do anything I want to do really, I might as well.

It's success, not fame, that is quite addictive. I'm addicted to a lot of things and, as it happens, success is one of them.

I met Courtney Love and she said she'd like to sleep with me, but she couldn't cos of my "pop-star thing"... so I said to her I couldn't sleep with her either - cos of her 'ugly thing'.

Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.

There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.

I've nothing against anyone following their dreams - but not if they're crap.
