The World Goes On, You Go On

The Biggest Misconception People Have About Me Is That I'm Stupid.

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.

My Dad Was One Of The Reasons I Got Into Rock And Roll, Because I Was Learning The Ropes Of His Business, Which Was Selling Powertools, And I Was Looking For A Way Out From Under His Heel. I Was Like, 'where's The Fun? Where's The Glamour?

Rock Isn't Art, It's The Way Ordinary People Talk.

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.
