A ballad once in a while doesn't go amiss

What characterized the whole punk scene for me in 1977 was there was no racism or sexism. It was an anarchy of -isms, and a matter of abolishing it all.

The so-called feminist writers were disgusted with me. I did my thing, and so I guess by feminist standards I'm a feminist. That suits me fine.

In my experience lust only ever leads to misery. All that suspicion and jealousy and anguish it unleashes. I don't want those things in my life.

I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.

I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.

Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!

I feel displaced when I'm back in America, like a visitor. I feel like if I don't get a cup of tea I'm going to lose my mind.

Once you stop drinking and smoking and stuff, it really gets on your nerves, all that nonsense going on.

Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.

I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.

The fear of criticism stagnates the power of creativity.

Do not find faults, only forgive.

Don't stop til you get to the top. And then break out the sledge hammer and keep on going

Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.

When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level

It is conceivable that what is unified form to the author or composer may of necessity be formless to his audience.

My co-workers expect me to be late and temperamental.

I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.

The devil won't stay where there is music.

In all things there is a law of cycles.
