Quote

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.

I didn't come after Elvis and Dylan, I've been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love 'em.

I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I think it's realistic, and it's true to the me that has been developing over the years. I like first-person music.

We were really professional by the time we got to the States we had learned the whole game. When we arrived here we knew how to handle the press the British press were the toughest in the world and we could handle anything. We were all right.
