If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.

What characterized the whole punk scene for me in 1977 was there was no racism or sexism. It was an anarchy of -isms, and a matter of abolishing it all.

The so-called feminist writers were disgusted with me. I did my thing, and so I guess by feminist standards I'm a feminist. That suits me fine.

I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.

I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.

Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!

I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.

Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.

Every great thing requires a great sacrifice.

It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us.

We all make mistakes. We're human. Hopefully, everyone -- like I am -- will have that attitude. I'm not upset.

We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
