You'll get one number and one number only, 'cause I'm a lazy bastard!

(During a gig on the Sex Pistols' US Tour) See the fine, upstanding, young men Britain is chucking out these days.

Every time I see Bono in those big fly glasses and tight leather pants I just can't hack it. I can't see that as solving the world's problems. He's crushing his testicles in tight trousers for world peace.

Volatile. Fully prepared to defend myself. (when asked how would he describe himself)
