I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.

For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.

Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!

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

Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you.

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

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.

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