I have deliberately kept singing because I have to at my age. If I stopped for even a year my voice would slowly deteriorate until it's not there at all. That's a fact about getting to my age.
-
I wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.
-
I used to be a great blues singer.
-
I love Adele. That's a lead singer; that's the real deal.

You can do too much and oversell your market.
-
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.
-
Monterey, I remember, but I seem to remember the Fillmore West, that we played the week before Monterey. That was much more memorable for me. The first time in San Francisco. They were good gigs.
-
I don't like Tommy on Broadway at all. I like the music, I'm pleased with Pete's success but I don't like what they've done to it.
-
Who would have ever thought that I'd end up saying that I want to be an all-around entertainer? But that's what I want to be.
-
I don't care what people say about me.
-
Fifty per cent of rock is having a good time.
-
I hope I die before I get old.

A lot of the new people they choose on shows like 'American Idol' and things like that - I don't ever hear lead singers. They always seem to choose to pick people that are great singers, fabulous singers, but they've never got the voice that makes a great lead singer.

In those days I don't' think they were even demos.
-
I don't think you should ever say, 'This is the last time'. Music isn't like that. You'll be sitting there not wishing to get onto a stage again for maybe two, three, four, five months, or maybe a year, then suddenly you'll wake up and feel like you've got to do it again. It's in the blood, and I never say never.

We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.
-
European fisheries are a disaster. The American fisheries are well-kept.
-
I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed.
-
I'm not anti-fox hunting because, to me, shooting foxes is even worse and the results are horrendous.
-
I always used to develop a cold going into the studio.
-
You're better off being a brick layer if you're going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.
-
I enjoy singing; being in touch with something that is inside of me.
-
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.

I know my faults, but I'm comfortable with me.
