Lemmy

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

I like hard, aggressive music.

I'd never have left Hawkwind if I hadn't been fired.

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

Touring is too much fun to stop.

I wasn't very worried about the Cold War; I was busy being a musician.

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 don't miss anything by being a bachelor. I don't know any happily married couples, not even my parents.

I was never going to be a doctor or a lawyer, so being a musician seemed to be the best of what was on offer.

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

I didn't really want to be in the lifestyle without the music. And I didn't want to be in the music without the lifestyle.

I've always been alone. I grew up alone. I like it that way. Even when I'm in an arena surrounded by 10,000 people, I'm alone in my head.
