When you're in love, it's not just about the messing around in the sack, it's about how empty you feel when they're gone.

What can go wrong will go wrong.

They teach you how to handle life in England, but they don't teach you a thing about death. There's no book telling you what to do when your mum or dad dies.

You've got to try and take things to the next level, or you'll just get stuck in a rut.

The most unbelievable thing about my behaviour is that I was convinced it was entirely f**king normal.

Every day I try to learn something new. If I didn't, I might as well be dead.

Reality's a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there.

I'm a survivor. I've been through more shit than a sewage worker, and I'm still here.

All this Satan stuff — it's a load of bollocks.

I couldn't conform to a 9-to-5 job. Lasted about a month before I told them to go fuck themselves.

At best I've got ten years left — and when you're older, time picks up speed.

If I can't do more shows… I just want one final gig to say, 'Thanks for my life.'

You'll either be special or end up in prison.' I did both.

There are no unsavable souls.

Everybody likes the bad guy… It's always the bad things people get a kick out of.

So what's the point in hating anyone? There's enough hate in the world already.

If you can laugh at your mistakes, it's a good thing.

I was a free man, and I'd survived prison without being arse raped or beaten to a pulp. So how come I felt so fucking sad?

I'm telling you, the ingenuity of alcoholics is something else. If only it could be put to some kind of good use. I mean, if you said to an alcoholic, 'Look, the only way for you to get another drink is to cure cancer,' the disease would be history in five seconds.

But to me, that's always been the beauty of music. It's the one thing in life that you can't control completely.
