I don't really go out to clubs, but if I did, I'd just want to go rock out with my mates or whatever.

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.

Much smoking kills live men and cures dead swine.

There are a lot of mindless moments in my tunes.

Pure philanthropy is very well in its way but philanthropy plus five percent is a good deal better.

Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.

Art is living stopped for a moment of wonder.

Who are we? That is the big question. And essentially we are just an upright-walking, big-brained, super-intelligent ape.

Whatever we put out, it's coming back to us. The universe keeps a perfect set of books.

Just showing that what I did at the combine wasn't a fluke.

Life is only limited by our prejudices. Destroy them, and you cease to be at the mercy of yourself.

If you can turn off certain categories of law, do you not also have the power to turn off all categories of law?
