When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

I never liked Queen. I can honestly say I hated Queen and everything that they did.

My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.

The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.
