I climbed down the outside of a Holiday Inn once just to surprise one of my crew by getting on his balcony and knocking on his window.

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.

Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination.

Eric Clapton wrote Layla when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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 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?

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

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

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.

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