We partied with the royal rich people, and we felt like rock stars. We drank all the whiskey in the place.

DJs are the new rock stars.

Yep, big rich twatty rock stars! Compared to some rappers who've been 'on the scene' 15 minutes, we're minnows… but I won't be back in the factory any time soon! As for the music, it's ALWAYS been the focal point. We were never into it for the money. We wouldn't have spent three years recording a very expensive record, 'Hysteria' , if we were! When I saw Marc Bolan and David Bowie on 'Top of the Pops' I didn't shout, 'Wow! I want to be him for the money.' It was for the glory of it and a way out of dreary old day job land. That wasn't for me, the music gave me a motivation.

It was always my belief that rock and roll belonged in the hands of the people, not rock stars.

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

Everybody has forgotten about showmanship. People don't look like rock stars any more. They just look like regular dudes off the street.
