We’ve made bad albums in the past, and people have bought them. I don’t know. I don’t care. I’m just grateful for it.

LEMMYThe 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.
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.
LEMMYA lot of photos were taken of us next to milk churns.
LEMMYEveryone wants to be safe. Well, I got news for you: You can’t be safe. Life’s not safe. Your work isn’t safe.
LEMMYI was lucky: I didn’t get married, so I didn’t have to have that responsibility.
LEMMYI’m against any religion, and Communism and Nazism – they’re both equally religions. They’re just replacement gods.
LEMMYI wasn’t any good at playing tennis.
LEMMYI don’t know, I’ve always written songs that are mainly about attitude, not me personally.
LEMMYIn 1967, I had my first black girlfriend, and a lot more ever since then. I just don’t understand racism.
LEMMYI saw the Beatles play the Cavern in Liverpool when I was 16. They had attitude: Onstage, they were like a four-headed monster.
LEMMYThere’s no point thinking about dying, because it’s going to happen anyway, isn’t it? I don’t waste my time worrying about that.
LEMMYI wanted to be a farmer; actually, I wanted to be a horse-breeder. And I had the stallions… but then I heard Little Richard, and that was it.
LEMMYYou can’t plan your life. It doesn’t work.
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.
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.
