You have to keep fit being a singer – that’s part of the job. You can’t do it unless you have incredible stamina.
We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.
I’ve never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.
When I sing, I try to live the song or live the emotion of the song. The space I’m in doesn’t exist. It’s another world.
I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn’t be able to recall it.
First of all, you have to understand that I’m like anybody else. When I hear my voice on a record I absolutely loathe my voice. I cannot stand my voice.
We tend to think of age only in time, but I don’t think it has much to do with time at all there’s a whole load of other things. I’ve met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.
I don’t know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
I don’t care what people say about me.
I enjoy singing; being in touch with something that is inside of me.
I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalized with serious problems.
Unless you’ve been touched personally, it’s difficult to see, but there are millions of people who have no voice whatsoever.
My place, your place, slapped face, rat race.
