I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.

I keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.

All the things that you would have thought would have made me a professional A1 criminal... wrong. I decided that was too lazy and easy, and because of the way British society is, quite frankly you were denied an education, so I got one of my own.

Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.

Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.

If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.

I like America's diversity and its landscapes.

I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.

If you are pissing people off, you know you are doing something right

Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

I love conversation and the sharing of different thoughts and philosophies. That kind of stuff always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them.

Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!
