“The class system is there to remind you that you’re just a dirty oik because you came from that side of the tracks.”

“Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Good night!”

“I’ve not done any of this for superstardom, quite the opposite. I threw away the rock star mantle. And for that, there’s resentment too: ‘How dare he, how dare he.’”

“How can you ban language, words? How're words offensive? And why should I have to tolerate YOUR interpretation? I'm the one using the word. ASK me how I'm using it, don't TELL me.

“It’s a family house.”

“Yes I can take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin addict.”
