Billy Idol People Quotations

The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm stupid.

There was a time when my whole life was in chaos, really, and I didn't help myself sort it out. But one day I came to my senses, and I think I was lucky because a lot of people don't.

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.

Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk.

I think people can see that if anything I kept the alternative thing in MTV, ... If they hadn't had me it would have been just Madonna and big-hair bands. It was a great combination of punk and rock, and I've gone on to do that today.
