You haven't been soiling your soul in public for years like we have.

[My favorite decade] probably the '60s, because there were hardly any rules and heroin hadn't shown up, so people hadn't started dying. It was incredibly upbeat, and we almost did change the world. I guess that was the best one .

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.

They [The Beatles ] were the first band to write their own songs in Britain because we always just covered American songs before that.

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?

People changing because they think they should is not a good idea, because I just don't think they should, really.

I hate heroin. It killed off a lot of my generation. It killed off a lot of my friends. Now this generation is getting killed off again. I can't believe it. How many dead bodies do we need to have piled up?
Lemmy Kilmister
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.

...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.

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.

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.

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

Born to lose. Live to win.

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

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.

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?
Lemmy Kilmister
Image
As you go through life's rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren't fit to shine your shoes. It's a sad fact, but it's true. A good friend is someone who'd hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know?

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.

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