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

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.

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

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

I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.

Only the fakes survive.

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

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

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

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

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.

Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.

I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.

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've never said I'm a communist.

The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.

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