It's not that I take pride in being unfashionable. It's just that I've gotten used to it.

The hippie era was a wonderful time because we still believed we could make the world a better place.

I like touring; I live on the road, more or less.

Touring is too much fun to stop.

I was the kid a lot of other mothers wouldn't let you play with.

You can't win fame; you have to earn it. If you're given fame without working for it, then you're not going to be ready for it.

I once fell through a hole in the stage.

It just seems like we get more popular every eight years or so. For some reason, it becomes cool to like Motorhead again.

I make a very good steak.

I was brought up by two women: my mother and my grandmother.

Nobody in the world could possibly be as mean as I look, could they?

I guess anything in excess is no good for you, even things that are supposed to be healthy.

My hearing is usually O.K.

I do quite like that Andrew Lloyd Webber song from 'Cats.' What's it called? 'Memory?' Sends shivers up your spine.

My advice wouldn't be good to anybody. I don't see it really being greeted with thunderous applause.

I don't really admire musicianship per se - as is obvious from my own playing.

You learn all the best stuff in life after you leave school.

In every kid's life, there's about three or four years when you're at liberty, and after that, you have to get a job because you're getting married or you have to support your parents or whatever it is. I was lucky: I didn't get married, so I didn't have to have that responsibility.

I find it quite easy to play chords, and, you know, that was all I ever did. I never wanted to be a lead guitarist.

I'm not going to die broke, but I'm not rich.

Like most housewives, I don't cook unless I have company.

Eddie Cochran - I never got to see him live, but he could play. Him and Buddy Holly, they were the best guitarists. They could get a good raunchy beat going.

I don't only collect Nazi stuff; I collect objects from all the Axis countries.

Got two kids; one's a record producer who lives just up the road from me - great guitarist and piano player, too.
