It's just about bein' yourself...even when you're on the dole, it's about your leather jacket. Music is the last refuge of the working class, along with football...in fact, gigs and riots are the only things left.

I have a very bad relationship with the future. We don't get on. We just ignore each other.

I love her but I wouldn't marry her if she [Kate Moss] was the last woman on earth.

The world that surrounded me disgusted me so I chosen to invent one of my own.

I've learnt that there's nothing in my day to day life or anything that I do that is in any way aimed at changing how I'm perceived or how I'm presented it's completely impossible.

Broken glass. It's just like glitter, isn't it?

I’m vain because I’m imperfect.

I’m not saying that maybe there isn’t a kid out there whose behavior hasn’t been influenced by me in some way. I’m sure there is. But I can only speak for myself, and if you’d asked if my behavior had ever been affected by people I’d admired from afar, like musicians or footballers, that’d be a yes, totally.

Once you realize that what I’m saying is true and comes from the heart, then it’s easy. But if you see it all as a façade and just a presentation of affected emotion, then it’s not so easy, it’ll just confuse you.

I'm not going to be hardened by these people, to these things, I'm not going to let them destroy my feelings or my emotions.

Open your heart. Don't be spiteful.

You want to dance. You want to sing. Yeah, that feeling, of course, is beyond recollection really.
