I used to be a great blues singer.

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.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

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.

Sometimes you just have to jump in a mud puddle because it's there. Never get so old that you forget about having fun.

Some dark nights hide the cruelest of secrets. Such are the tales of the dark shadows hidden in that old castle in a distant land. The story of ages started with a classic

I write into an old book that smells of dust and whose pages are floppy with damp. Sometimes the ink splodges onto the paper, other times it will barely leave the nib of my pen.

Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.

You're not sorry to go, of course. With people like us our home is where we are not... No one person in the world is necessary to you or to me.

The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.

It is better to be a self-made man,--filled up according to God's original pattern,--than to be half a man, made after some other man's pattern.

I believe writers should be able to write about anything - anything - but there is also a sense in which your lived experience shapes what you write and what you don't write.

It is not possible to build on negative emotions. Genuine literature will come only when we replace hatred for man with love for man.
