nice may-not-be-perfect people
It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.
sympathy nice looks
It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.
lunch nice-cars three
Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
nice irritated joyous
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
nice insults-you say-anything
I wanted to wear the most impenetrable suit of armour ever known to mankind. 'Hello, Mr. Rotten...' You can't say anything about me. You can't put me down in any way shape or form - I'm rotten to the core... you know, what's left for you? Pleasantries? I suppose the worst insult you could sling my way is 'Oh, he's really nice, him.'
nice moving mean
Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
grew liked members music taken
I've been in very many situations where I've not liked the other members of the band or they have not liked me. I grew up presuming that's the way music was made. It doesn't need to be that way. It's taken me years years to find that out.
died few four nearly took
I was a very sickly boy when I was young; nearly died when I was 7. I had a life-threatening attack of meningitis, and that put me in a coma for a few months. It took me four years to get my memory back.
human
My inspiration is everything that the human being gets up to.
constantly fight rest
We constantly have to fight off allegations, when we've done nothing wrong. When frankly, it's the rest of the world.
bank car change collector expensive huge incredibly love reason wealthy
I don't have huge bank accounts. I'd love one. But it wouldn't change much. I don't have any expensive habits. I'm not a car collector or any of that nonsense. But I'd love to be incredibly wealthy for no reason at all.
It's quite clear to me I'm not a sexist and I'm not a misogynist.
achieved black bob faces shoddy weak
It was a very shoddy and weak production. And there weren't enough Black faces in the show for my liking. I don't think it achieved anything. Bob Geldof is too self-serving.
hurt stunt
It's all a stunt and they'll get hurt.
