LEMMYThe hippie era was a wonderful time because we still believed we could make the world a better place.
LEMMYYou learn all the best stuff in life after you leave school.
LEMMYMy father walked out on us when I was three months old, and my mum, well, she wasn’t the driven sort.
LEMMYWhen you leave the house, it isn’t safe. The air you breathe isn’t going to be safe, not for very long. That’s why you have to enjoy the moment.
LEMMYI listen to everything from Ravel to the Bee Gees.
LEMMYYou can’t win fame; you have to earn it. If you’re given fame without working for it, then you’re not going to be ready for it.
LEMMYGay people are made and not born.
LEMMYEddie Cochran – I never got to see him live, but he could play. Him and Buddy Holly, they were the best guitarists. They could get a good raunchy beat going.
LEMMYWomen always left me because I wouldn’t commit, but then nothing changes a relationship like commitment. If you move in with someone, you lose all respect for them.
LEMMYI always thought we had more in common with punk than with anything else, but we had long hair, so we didn’t fit in that box.
LEMMYI like touring; I live on the road, more or less.
LEMMYI don’t only collect Nazi stuff; I collect objects from all the Axis countries.
LEMMYI’m against any religion, and Communism and Nazism – they’re both equally religions. They’re just replacement gods.
LEMMYI’m not afraid of death. How can you be afraid of something that’s inevitable?
LEMMYI never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.
