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?

...what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during World War II -- and Germany did the same thing to England.

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
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.

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.

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.

Safe sex, safe music, safe clothing, safe hair spray, safe ozone layer. Too late! Everything that's been achieved in the history of mankind has been achieved by not being safe.

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.

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

He [Randy Rhoads] was really a good guy. I never could get over how incredibly little he was.

People don't want to see the guy next door on the stage, they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you'd never meet in ordinary life.

That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!

I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.

If you think you are too old to rock 'n roll, then you are.
