LEMMYThe thing about death is it’s so final, isn’t it, really? As far as we know… Nobody has ever come back and told us about it.
LEMMYEveryone gets depressed. But what do you do? You just go through it.
LEMMYIt’s not that I take pride in being unfashionable. It’s just that I’ve gotten used to it.
LEMMYAs for what other people think of me, I don’t care. I don’t care and never have.
LEMMYI am emphatically not a Nazi.
LEMMYI learned that if I had known how much of this Nazi memorabilia there was to collect, I never would have started in the first place. It’s crowding me out of my house.

LEMMYI don’t only collect Nazi stuff; I collect objects from all the Axis countries.
LEMMYI don’t want to advise anyone to do anything, apart from try and stay alive. That’s my advice – don’t die.
