I found a book of quotes that came with an old NME circa February 4, 1995. Here are some choice cuts:
"I just left George Jones, he and I were on a plane together. He was sober today, by the way, and we were just talking about how long a hangover lasts now that we're 55 compared to when we were 25. George said, 'I get drunk one night and my hangover lasts two weeks, so I just used to stay drunk for two weeks and only have a hangover for one night'." -- Johnny Cash, 1987
"They should make heroin legal, it would get rid of the criminal element." -- Michael Hutchence, 1989
"I can't think of anything better than 16-year old boys wanking and looking at a picture of me." -- Justine Frischmann, 1993
"Wanting to be a rock star is as legitimate as wanting to be a fireman or an astronaut. It's like being a doctor, only you get more girls to take their clothes off for you and you get to fuck them." -- Trent Reznor, 1991
"I never liked to tread on the grass. I always thought it would automatically kill it. But then somebody told me it usually bounces straight back up, so I don't feel so bad about it." -- Natalie Merchant, 1989
"Protect my voice? From what? Vandals?" -- Tom Waits, 1983
"We were in this apartment in Harlem, ready to shoot and Michael said, 'Is this real? It this where people live?' And I said, 'Oh yeah, and this is one of the better ones!' The poor guy doesn't go out of his house he just didn't know." -- Martin Scorsese on Michael Jackson, 1987
"The only black magic Sabbath ever got into was a box of chocolates." -- Ozzy Osbourne, 1983
"The singer with The Stone Roses is going to be Billy Idol in ten years." -- Kim Gordon, 1990
"Rock 'n' roll just reminds me of people with personal hygiene problems who like getting blow jobs off complete strangers. That's not what being in a band means to me." -- Thom Yorke, 1993
"Personally, I think if more people discovered the joy of wigs, the world would be a happier place." -- Mike D, 1994
