I struggled more than anything else to find a voice for this band.

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.

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.

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 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.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.

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.

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.

Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my roommate, he said, "Do I know you?

Sing your bliss, and the blissful will congregate.

Greatest discoveries come from passionate scientists with naive curiosity

John Kerry can be absolutely ruthless. I would not want to be on his enemies list when he's ready to go after you.

Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?

No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation.

At the end of our life our questions are simple: Did I live fully? Did I love well?

I'm just the librarian. I can only give you the books. I can't give you the answers.

Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.

If we do what we do without panicking, we can accomplish great things.
