An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it's some weird coloured embossed stuff.

We're the only band that's got real communication between the stage and the audience. People know they can come and talk to us and pour beer over us, buy us a drink and spit at us. [on his group, the Damned]

We're all colored, or you wouldn't be able to see anyone.

I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.
