“I think love's exciting and happy, as well as being able to make you sad.” — Billy Idol

They wouldn't play my records on American radio because I had spiky hair. They said, 'Punk rock doesn't sell advertising, it won't make any money.'

It's like, what happened, I was always leading fashion, and then the grunge thing kind of came along. And because I've been so on top in the '80s you know, I, you know, what can I do? Suddenly go grunge?

The world goes on, you go on and you change. You want to show the fans those changes, and you want to be able to verbalize them.

I rocked the cradle of love.
