I'm not anti-fox hunting because, to me, shooting foxes is even worse and the results are horrendous.
I hope I die before I get old.
I had me jaw broken, and so my chin stuck way out. That's how I became tough - I learned to pick up anything and fight back.
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.
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've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.
We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.
I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.
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 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'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.
Every generation of rock musician will understand that we wouldn't be anywhere without the support of teenagers buying the records.
My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.
You know, I was a school rebel. Whatever they said do, I didn't do. I was totally anti-everything.
No, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I'd had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.
I'm a rock god? I'm five foot seven. I had me jaw broken, and so my chin stuck way out. That's how I became tough - I learned to pick up anything and fight back... A rock god!
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 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 know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.
European fisheries are a disaster. The American fisheries are well-kept.
