Jack Green Quotes
I think a lot of rock stars take themselves too seriously. Then again, if you want to be a ‘star’ you’ve got to appear to take yourself very seriously indeed. I, unfortunately, could never do this for any length of time. Probably because of my upbringing, my feet were planted far too firmly on the ground. I found the rock star thing pretty laughable. I couldn’t take those types seriously. If I had, I would probably have got further along in the business.
