“A lot of photos were taken of us next to milk churns.”

I like touring; I live on the road, more or less.

I wasn’t very worried about the Cold War; I was busy being a musician.

I do quite like that Andrew Lloyd Webber song from ‘Cats.’ What’s it called? ‘Memory?’ Sends shivers up your spine.

I was in the Rockin’ Vicars, which was the first British band to tour behind the Iron Curtain.

Touring is too much fun to stop.

We was living in squats in Battersea when we started with Motorhead. And we lived with the Hell’s Angels in this flat. They were always around.

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.

The hippie era was a wonderful time because we still believed we could make the world a better place.

In your twenties, you think you are immortal. In your thirties, you hope you are immortal.

Nobody in the world could possibly be as mean as I look, could they?

I don’t really have the voice for love songs, do I?

I’m not a poker player; I play slot machines.

I guess anything in excess is no good for you, even things that are supposed to be healthy.

Some songs, you just can’t shake; they keep creeping back into your set list.

I am emphatically not a Nazi.

I’m against any religion, and Communism and Nazism – they’re both equally religions. They’re just replacement gods.
