„Sosem lesznek barátaid, kivéve, ha mindenkit őszintén kedvelsz.”

„Nem gondolom, hogy a fiatalok olyan demoralizáltak, mint ahogy azt a média és a kormány szeretné, hogy gondoljuk. Annak, hogy az emberi kapcsolatok milyen szorosak és erősek, nyilvánvaló jele az, hogy hányan képesek felépíteni az életüket mindazok ellenére, amiket hozzájuk vágtak.”

“It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now”

“Different types of love
are possible”

“So far, this is disco.”

“Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy”

“(on his inability to read music) "If someone lays the notes on a page in front of me, it's meaningless…because to me you can't express the rhythms properly like that. It's a very ineffective way of doing it, so I've never really bothered picking it up."”

“The video of 'Paranoid Android' has been censored by MTV. They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs.”

“I wouldn't be involved with it [pop music] if I wasn't aware that it was going to be a product. I always wanted whatever I did to end up in the high street, no matter what it was, because to me, there isn't anywhere else to go. It's pointless.”

“Q: Does commercial success matter to you?”

“I live in a town, where you can't smell a thing”

“Far up above, aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures that lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets”

“Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk,
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love.”

“I am fused, just in case I blow out. I am glued, just in case I crack out.”

“Don't get any big ideas,
They're not gonna happen.”

“I'll take a quiet life
And a handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises”

“I can't take their pressure
No one cares if you live or die
They just want me gone
They want me gone”

“They're dangerous people, and what's really frightening is that they don't know it, they don't see themselves as dangerous… they see the danger elsewhere. The danger is always elsewhere. How convenient.”

“We're not scare-mongering
This is really happening”

“She looks like the real thing,
She tastes like the real thing,
My fake plastic love.
But I can't help the feeling,
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turned and ran.”

“So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot”

“It annoys me how pretty my voice is…that sounds incredibly immodest, but it annoys me how polite it can sound when perhaps what I'm singing is deeply acidic.”

“The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear”

“There's nothing more boring than a rock'n'roll star, someone who has been on the road for 10 years, expecting attention wherever he goes, drinking himself stupid, who is obnoxious, incoherent, uncreative and has a massive ego. There's nothing more pointless.”

“At a better pace
Slower and more calculated
No chance of escape”

“Everyone has got the fear
It's holding on
Holding on”

“You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking.”

“Her green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth.”

“How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?”

“I grew up under Thatcher. I grew up believing that I was fundamentally powerless. Then gradually over the years it occurred to me that this was actually a very convenient myth for the state.”

“I'm an animal trapped in your hot car.”
