"After I die, there'll be no Motorhead because you couldn't get a singer to do this or play bass like that. You probably could but it wouldn't really work. Mikkey Dee is like that. Phil Campbell is almost there too. People you just can't replace. I'll continue until I fuckin' drop dead." (1996)

"It would be a good place to die, on stage. Well, what's the alternative? Die in bed sick and old?" (1996)

"Lets hope that I fall with some grace. I'll probably land on some ugly tattooed woman. What keeps us going? Just dogged persistence. A refusal to lie down and play dead. If we break up and give, then a lot of people I don't like were right. I won't fucking give it to them. A lot of people I do like would be right as well, and I wouldn't give it to them either." (1998)

"The thing is, why would I pack it in? Because I'm good at what I do, and we fill a niche that would be unfilled forever if we went, because there's nobody like us. And you deserve us, anyway. (2000)
