Quote

You know, I've been to some superstars' houses, and I've been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They're just there on the walls glaring at you when you're trying to be occupied with other things.

I've never said I'm a communist.

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.

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

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.

Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.

I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.

I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.

Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.

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.

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.

Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.

I don't need a Rolls-Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't need to live in the south of France. I'm quite happy as I am.

I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.

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!

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