Some songs, you just can't shake; they keep creeping back into your set list.

I was in the Rockin' Vicars, which was the first British band to tour behind the Iron Curtain. A lot of photos were taken of us next to milk churns.

The 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.

We was living in squats in Battersea when we started with Motorhead. And we lived with the Hell's Angels in this flat. They were always around.

From the beginning of time, the bad guys always had the best uniforms. Napoleon, the Confederates, the Nazis.

I don't really have the voice for love songs, do I?

I'd never have left Hawkwind if I hadn't been fired.

I've never met a girl who could stop me looking at all the others. If I did, I'd marry her.

I hate golf! I still can't believe Alice Cooper plays golf!

Women 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.

It's very much up to you, how you shape your life. I mean, I missed out on human relationships. But looking at relationships that I've seen along the way, I don't think I've missed much.

I wasn't any good at playing tennis.

I listen to everything from Ravel to the Bee Gees.

Everything I hear influences me. I can't tell you all my influences as a musician.

The Beatles are the classical music of rock n' roll. And rock n' roll is far more widespread than classical will ever be.

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n' roll - that was music to me. Everything else was boring.

'Bomber' was the first song I wrote about war.

Growing up in America is like being taught to be stupid.

The 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.

All my dreams came true. There's not many people that can say that. I mean, most people have to work in a job they hate all their lives, and I can't imagine that.

I'm not afraid of death. How can you be afraid of something that's inevitable?

I've always been very wordy; I've got a great vocabulary.

As a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I learned that I should give up being a guitar player.

Kids are generally rotten until the age of about six, when they become people.
