Zitat des Tages von Billy Idol:
I don't care what stage or what reason, as long as we're playing.
Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk.
The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm stupid.
I'm really a singer, so I love songs and I love singing. I like rap music, but I didn't grow up freestyling.
I rocked the cradle of love.
My hair used to be real long, and my parents were encouraged when I cut it. They thought I was going 'straight,' but I was just getting weirder - at least in their eyes. I was getting into the punk thing.
If your world doesn't allow you to dream, move to one where you can.
I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore.
It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.
When I started out, everyone seemed to be adopting these names... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I wasn't really Rotten or Vicious or Nasty, so I wanted something a bit more funny - yet something that seemed real rock 'n' roll... something that acknowledged my ambition.
I am quite a romantic person, really, and I should have put that into my music earlier, but I was probably denying it... I didn't want to be soft because I felt I had to be so hard to get people to believe in me.
The world goes on, you go on and you change. You want to show the fans those changes, and you want to be able to verbalize them.
I'm not trying to hide from my past. I want to roll in it. Like a dog, rolling in feces, I'm rolling in the feces of my greatest hits - that's a bit of a wild way of looking at it, but I am a man, and we do like rolling in our own feces at times.
