You have to believe in yourself even when others don’t, or you won’t achieve anything.

If your world doesn’t allow you to dream, move to one where you can.

I love it when somebody insults me. That means I don’t have to be nice anymore.

Billy Idol

I don’t care what stage or what reason, as long as we’re playing.

I had been living as if there were no tomorrow, and had nearly made that a reality.

It doesn’t matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You’re still left alone with yourself in the end.

Billy Idol

Never be in thrall to anyone but your own wants and desires, because only you can make yourself happy. Fly your own flag, and be true to it. Your soul is the true captain.

Billy Idol

You are going to be who you are. Might as well embrace it or forever be at the mercy of the human fears and trepidations of life that can devastate and drag us down.

Billy Idol

I am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I’ve put it all down, every bit from the heart. I’m going out on a limb here, so watch my back.

I am quite a romantic person, really, and I should have put that into my music earlier, but I was probably denying it… I didn’t want to be soft because I felt I had to be so hard to get people to believe in me.
