More quotes by Joe Strummer

When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.

Interview with Judy McGuire for Punk Magazine (2001)

Anybody who makes speeches written by someone else is just a robot.
