Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

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.

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

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 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.

I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

I've never said I'm a communist.

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

I like America's diversity and its landscapes.

Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!

I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.

Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.

U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.

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 don't understand the art of compromise, and it's a shame the politicians don't understand that as well, you know, we might have a better, clearer world. But then saying that, we might also get a lot of Donald Trump's running left right and centre.

I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
