It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.

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!

Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.

The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.

Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon

You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.

Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.

I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.

I like America's diversity and its landscapes.

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

I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.

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.

Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
