Well there’s nothing to lose And there’s nothing to prove I’ll be dancing with myself.
BILLY IDOLWell there’s nothing to lose And there’s nothing to prove I’ll be dancing with myself.
BILLY IDOLI am quite a romantic person, really, and I should have put that into my music earlier, but I was probably denying it…
BILLY IDOLI love it when someone insults me. That means that I don’t have to be nice anymore.
BILLY IDOLThere was a time when my whole life was in chaos, really, and I didn’t help myself sort it out. But one day I came to my senses, and I think I was lucky because a lot of people don’t.
BILLY IDOLWe want flesh, flesh for fantasy.
BILLY IDOLElvis a fight the dying light, Johnny Ray he’s always crying.
BILLY IDOLI’m not trying to hide from my past. I want to roll in it. Like a dog, rolling in feces.
BILLY IDOLI didn’t want to be soft because I felt I had to be so hard to get people to believe in me.
BILLY IDOLRock isn’t art, it’s the way ordinary people talk.
BILLY IDOLI don’t care what stage or what reason, as long as we’re playing.
BILLY IDOLI don’t think punk ever really dies, because punk rock attitude can never die.
BILLY IDOLI’m not talking with an American accent. I haven’t gone off and become Sammy Hagar.
BILLY IDOLI am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I put it all down – I’m out on a limb here, so watch my back.
BILLY IDOLI’m rolling in the feces of my greatest hits – that’s a bit of a wild way of looking at it, but I am a man, and we do like rolling in our own feces at times.
BILLY IDOLMy hair used to be real long, and my parents were encouraged when I cut it. They thought I was going ‘straight,’ but I was just getting weirder – at least in their eyes. I was getting into the punk thing.
BILLY IDOLWhen I started out, everyone seemed to be adopting these names… Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I wasn’t really Rotten or Vicious or Nasty, so I wanted something a bit more funny – yet something that seemed real rock ‘n’ roll… something that acknowledged my ambition.
