On luscious locks:
“Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death. If if your hair is wrong, your entire life is wrong.”
On making it in the music industry:
“The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Bublé — famous and meaningless.”
On performing:
“It’s communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.”
On munching meat:
“Eating meat is really on the same moral level as child abuse. It’s the same thing. Animals are like children, they look to us for protection.
On the futility of life:
“Life is a difficult business, and most people find it to be actually impossible… even Jesus only made it to 33.”
On his legacy:
“If I were knocked down tomorrow by a passing train, I would be considered the most important artist ever in the history of English pop music. That’s just a rough guess.”
On animal cruelty in China:
“You can’t help but feel that the Chinese people are a subspecies.”
On the aromatic atmosphere at Coachella:
“The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I can smell burning flesh . . . and I hope to God it’s human.”
On Maggie:
“The entire history of Margaret Thatcher is one of violence and oppression and horror.”
On endangered species:
“The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it’s not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It’s because of Beyonce’s handbags.”
On dance music:
“It’s the refuge for the mentally deficient. It’s made by dull people for dull people.”
On Madonna:
“Madonna reinforces everything absurd and offensive. Desperate womanhood. Madonna is closer to organised prostitution than anything else.”
On that moment when you approach the one and words fail you:
“But then a strange fear gripped me, and I just couldn’t ask.”
