Steve Jones Quotations

We didn't have lawyers and accountants. No one was watching out for our money. We'd go to the office and get money and go on our way. I was 19-20 years old then. I was stupid. I didn't know any better. We weren't getting our fair share of the money. That happens to young musicians all the time. It makes me mad when I think how stupid we were.

In '77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music.

I can't get enough of 'Call of Duty.' I'm the oldest guy who plays on PlayStation.

My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants.

I couldn't care less about what people think of me! I do what I do, and I don't care about what other people think is cool. I don't care about image!

I live in Beverly Hills and I'm proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I've lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather's great.

I wasn't planning on being a guitar player; I was going to be a singer. And I was for a little bit in the Sex Pistols - that is, until we got John Lydon. And then I realized I wasn't really suited as a front guy.

It's not every day you get to create a band like the Sex Pistols, and what it changed, on a musical level. I love that we've done something that was important.

I'm not the kind of guy a girl would take home to her mother. She'd kick the girl out and probably call the cops on me.

I might do a solo album, maybe do covers, or do an acoustic thing. No Sex Pistols tours, nothing!

I'm pretty much an isolated person. I'd rather stay home and play video games.

I don't want to play stinking, beer-ridden clubs. It depresses me even thinking about that. I really hate it when you're finished with a show and you're in your dressing room with that stink of beer and sweaty girls. It brings back an ugly picture for me. I'd hate to have to do that again.

I wouldn't mind working with Queens of the Stone Age, doing some guitar stuff on that. Even Arctic Monkeys. I'd like to do be a bit of guitar with them guys. I'll play on anyone's record to be honest with you.

I love '50s music, all that stuff from the '50s.

The Sex Pistols was a part of my life. Just a small part.

When I was in the Sex Pistols, I listened to Boston. But I couldn't tell anybody, you know. I'd get lynched.

I like documentaries; I watch the Soccer Channel; I like the Military Channel.

I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother.

I produced the Buckcherry album and I just finished a band called American Pearl on Wind-Up Records. That's Creed's label. They're pretty rocking. Now I'm looking for another band to produce.

I still like to play the guitar, but I rarely have anything to do with the music business these days. I mean, there is no music business anymore, is there?

The eye of the storm looked like it passed right over Clarksville.

Senator Thompson will host his first program this Memorial Day, focusing on America's brave servicemen and women.

She's got a great reaction for the goal and is accurate.

My concern at this point is the safety of the kids and to assist the families. Baseball is very secondary as opposed to what's going on.

I wish I could hover over my children 24-7, but the best I can do is teach them that there are ways to keep themselves safe.

I do not see it as a substitute for going to church. People go to church to congregate with other people.

Because of that we had a lot more run-off into the reservoirs in spring and early summer.

Frankly, the directions this program could take are limitless.

For us to plan any future expansion, we're going to need help with funding.

I think that when you take our whole midfield, they have contributed to just about every possible goal that we have. They have completely controlled the field.

Retailers, as well as banks and restaurants, are constantly refreshing their stores so that they look new and exciting.

Our research has shown while women are interested in serious issues, they don't want the information presented to them in a contentious way. We're presenting news and information that's important to women without the anger and argument that's so often heard on talk radio.

Someone had mentioned to me there was a story in the paper about the missing ticket. I buy them all the time, and after he told me that, I went into the room I sleep in and started looking. I grabbed me a mop and went up under the bed and found three of them.

It is essential that older people are treated as a group with special and particular needs in these emergency situations as they usually get forgotten when disaster strikes.

We're a little quick to respond in part because this is such a new phenomenon, and it involves the Internet. You can't blame school administrators for being fairly sensitive about these things. What's happening is that in so many domains in our professional and personal lives we're having to reestablish some boundaries in regard to the Internet.

We played toe-to-toe with them. The girls played their hearts out and took the No. 2-ranked team in the state toe-to-toe. We could just as easily have won it.

We had a little jam session, and it didn't take long to realize we both like the music of John Denver. I ran into Brad again in Cheyenne over Labor Day. They have a thing at the festival where you sing a 30-minute set for your supper at a local restaurant. We just happened to be scheduled back-to-back with Brad, and he invited us on stage to do a couple of Denver songs. The next day we rehearsed a 45-minute set and performed it on stage.

We have a good goalie, good defenders, good midfielders and good forwards. We never had those before. We have a full team now.

We came out not shooting the ball very well and they capitalized. Before the fourth, we rallied together. We pressed and played with tons of energy.

We didn't break out the programming percentage that would be carried on satellite.

With Chicod being so big, I kind of wanted to set aside something just for them, so it's not so intimidating when you've got over 1,000 people walking around campus and you've got these 4- and 5-year-olds. I kind of wanted to make it more of an individual thing for them.

This was the first time we played overtime this year and I didn't know what to expect, but the girls really stepped up and got the job done.

What I've learned with kindergarten students, especially with their parents, it's a big transition with them,

We just find that this (financing) formula is unfair and has some issues, and we want those issues resolved before signing on.

These sites are starting to gain some notice and I think it's potentially the next wave of the future. They are combining the more traditional retail Web model with a kind of community-based model where they bring people together to make volume purchases.

Technically, I don't care how you analyze it -- everything rests on that lowest note. That harmonic series runs all the way to the top.

This is a process, not an event. It's not going to happen over night. It's clear that we as African American men are unique and only we can articulate what it's like to attend a private college. But all of us would also agree that it was worth it, that we are successful today because of it.

This community has had the infinite wisdom to look beyond and into the future to know that if we're going to succeed, it's going to be because we have an educated workforce. And that's why we taxed ourselves.

They were going to have to be paring back very soon anyway.

There was smoke coming from behind them. It was pretty intense.

There's a lot of talent in Mississippi this year, especially at linebacker and running back. There's a lot of good players who aren't in either Mississippi All-Star game.

ABC News Radio agrees with Bonneville that there's a need for an FM news product. We believe our research can help FM programmers increase audience and TSL and we are actively testing this new product now.

It's kind of exciting because the economy has not been the greatest, so it would be a really good pick-up for Lafayette and Indiana. It's a positive thing for everybody, so we're looking forward.

It's unfortunate for the state of Vermont and particularly the syrup industry because you're eliminating the word Vermont on maple syrup on our product and all over the United States. Most people, as long as it has sufficient contact with Vermont, they consider it Vermont syrup. They don't care where the tree is.

It's changing us, there's no doubt about it. We're learning a new way to speak. It's going to create a new range of double-meanings and malapropisms as we discover words and phrases computers mishear for other words and phrases. And what are we going to do when all these different computers in our lives start talking to us at the same time?

It's rare we have to deal with a tropical storm in Clarksville. If the winds had picked up a bit more than they did or if the rain had come quicker, it would have been a very hard storm.

The FBCB2 system allows the commanders to see a real-time placement of where their assets are,

I'm tired of Glen Matlock saying he was the songwriter for the Sex Pistols. I co-wrote as many songs... but I don't go shouting about it.

Instead of having a map that has to be updated every few hours, it is a real-time map that is updated as the vehicles move. That way the battle captains can adjust the way they are fighting their battle.

Innovation is rarely seen as taking things away or making them simpler. We've had so much time to come up with a computer and Internet that are easier to use and work better, but we haven't done it.

I just run as hard as I can for 20 miles, and then race.

I love that rose. It has an intense fragrance -- an 'old rose' smell.

His leadership and experience in the financial services industry, along with his deep understanding of the Florida market, will contribute to the continued success of the bank in the region.

If I was 20, maybe I'd be upset (about being inducted), but it's all part of the game.

If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough

You can see it won't be very long at all before they're turning a house into a home.

The flights have been postponed. We don't know the exact numbers. They could possibly come Friday.

The focus of the program is to impact drug, alcohol and tobacco use by our kids. We specifically want to demonstrate to the young kids that you don't have to use to be accepted or to be popular.

Andrew totally gets surf and beach culture. But onto that he brings his own take, this vast knowledge, and elevates it to something I've never seen before.

The first two were nothing, but the third ticket said I needed to go the lottery office. I didn't know whether it was the Match-5 winnings or something else. But when they said I had to drive to Baton Rouge, I started looking for someone to drive me.

The film will examine the fascinating life of man who is a household name, yet no one knows his actual story. It's not a film about euthanasia but instead a look at a passionate man who spent his entire life fighting for rights he believes that every human should have.

All of the conditions and elements were there for major problems out of these storm cells. I'd say it was divine intervention that we didn't get hit harder than we did.
