“I can’t say I was really that surprised when the doctor told me I needed a defibrillator inserted in my chest.”

I never thought it was an option.

Cold pizza is a perfect breakfast, with lots of salt.

My father walked out on us when I was three months old, and my mum, well, she wasn’t the driven sort.

Good manners don’t cost nothing.

People look down on stuff that sells. What do you call that? Downward snobbery, I guess.

Everything I hear influences me. I can’t tell you all my influences as a musician.

I was the kid a lot of other mothers wouldn’t let you play with.

I find it quite easy to play chords, and, you know, that was all I ever did. I never wanted to be a lead guitarist.

Like most housewives, I don’t cook unless I have company.

I always open doors for women. It’s just good manners.

Rock n’ roll sounded like music from another planet. The first time around, we had people like Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis – all them people.

I always wanted to be able to show off like the guitar players do. I think I managed that alright!

The Beatles were from Liverpool. It’s a hard town. The Stones weren’t the hard men. They just dressed up. The Beatles were the hard men.

I’d never have left Hawkwind if I hadn’t been fired.

I’ve always been very wordy; I’ve got a great vocabulary.

My hearing is usually O.K.

My chest expanded and I suddenly wanted to beat on it with my fist. The girl was making me go all caveman.” -Marcus Hardy

With Woods arms wrapped around me and the beat of his heart pressed against my chest, I knew he would hold me steady. If I ever fell, I’d have him to catch me.

Press your ear to my chest and listen where a heartbeat should sing you will hear the melancholy songs of tired whales.

Fear people who dare to walk with their chest open, despite of having a heart bruise by love.

When she holds me close to her chest – her heart speaks to me.

When she holds me close to her chest – her heart speaks to me.

When she holds me close to her chest – her heart speaks to me.

If they are for you, you’ll feel it in your chest walls.
