Do you realize why is it I’m so driven to operate within the Establishment? It’s vengeance. ‘Hope I die before I get old’ is something I still have to live with, but not for the reason many people think. I have to be very, very vigilant not to become one of those people I despised.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed meeting fans face to face. They’re less scary when they aren’t going nuts at a Who show. But then, so am I.
People say, “You’ve gotta go on, man, otherwise all those kids, they’ll be finished, they’ll have nothing to live for.” That’s rock and roll!
The day you open your mind to music, you’re halfway to opening your mind to life.
Respect yourself. Try to remember that not everything in life can be perfect. You will make mistakes. That’s inevitable. But you are not ugly. You will only be ugly when you behave in an ugly way.
I believe rock can do anything, it’s the ultimate vehicle for everything.
