Quote

There are a lot of good books around. People don't read any more. It's a sad state of affairs. Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination. When you watch films it's someone else's vision, isn't it?

If I hadn't been living here [in America], do you think we would have gotten a Grammy? No chance.

Every generation thinks they are stronger than the generation before it. They think, It can't happen to me. In the past people have died making that same mistake.

Image
I have done interviews in the past, and they cut everything out except for the outrageous line, and then they take it out of context.

Image
We sent out tapes to the others but they didn't wake up. It was worth it just to have one kid wake up. I got to meet him after he woke up.

Image
In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.

All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain't got it no more.

We know what we are doing by now.We seem to make an album every 18 months or so and I think every band should do that. We're not writing Sgt. Pepper every time we are writing straight ahead rock n' roll.

We never played China, India or Africa. We also haven't played Russia enough. I would love to play those places.

Sex, death and war. And justice. There's no shortage of lyrics there.

Image
I have never been married, but that doesn't mean that I didn't mate. As you get older you get too many bad habits. Who is ever going to put up with me?

It became kind of a fad in the late '70s to try to help people wake up out of comas by hearing things that they liked. I remember we sent out about six tapes. We heard that we were this one kid's favorite band so we sent a tape that said, Hey this is Motörhead. It's time to wake up.

The Beatles had an influence on everybody. You have to realize what an incredible explosion the Beatles were.

It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

We were nominated [for Grammy] once before for our album 1916. We were up against Metallica at the time and they had just sold a quarter of a zillion albums.

Don't look to me. Don't ask for help. Don't ask for anything that you can do yourself

How many times can a rock star go over the top on drugs? How many times can a rock star be unfaithful to his old lady? It is really fu**ing boring, and that is what they do over and over and over. They just print the same sh*t.

It's just that I am too old now to chase all the woman involved which just seems a shame.

I think that is just about as dishonest as a person giving a bad interview. I despise people like that they don't get two tries. It's all just sensation. It is always bullshit.
