My place, your place, slapped face, rat race.
I’m not always the most diplomatic person.
I used to be a great blues singer.
I always used to develop a cold going into the studio.
Fifty per cent of rock is having a good time.
You’re better off being a brick layer if you’re going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.
We were too rough at the edges to be a pop group.
You can do too much and oversell your market.
My love for the band is still there. It hasn’t changed, maybe that’s why it’s so painful these days.
I love Adele. That’s a lead singer; that’s the real deal.
My feeling was that I simply didn’t have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.
I’m realistic about my age and realistic about the fact that there’s an awful lot less in front of me than there is behind me. I’ve always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.
Nikki Lamborn has the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin and I know what I’m talking about, I knew Janis.
I have to tell you, and I don’t mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.

I thought if I lost the band, I was dead. If I didn’t stick with the Who, I would be a sheet metal worker for the rest of my life.
I’m surrounded by good people. That’s the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.
I’ve always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.
Imagine if you could go watch Mozart today, even if it’s the last, crappiest show he ever played. What a thrill that would be.
