Dio Quotes

The studios are very much business. Maybe it was always that way. It is really commercial now. Judgments are made and directions are given to make the cash register ring Picture Quote #1

It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the 70s. There wasn’t a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the 70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour Picture Quote #1

I got to where I couldn’t listen to country radio. Country music is supposed to have steel and fiddle. When I hear country music, it should be country Picture Quote #1

Often the difference between a successful marriage and a mediocre one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid Picture Quote #1

One of the most obvious results of having a baby around the house is to turn two good people into complete idiots who probably wouldn’t have been much worse than mere imbeciles without it Picture Quote #1

How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle? Picture Quote #1

I think it was probably down to the fact that we weren’t together personally as a band. We weren’t pulling in the same direction. I always feel if you’re having a good time in the studio it actually comes across on the tape and that was a bit of a miserable album for us Picture Quote #1

Television studios bet the farm on reality shows, where they didn’t need any actors and movie studios had no plans for any quality movies that required the presence of me Picture Quote #1

The radios are going to dictate. That’s another fight. That’s another story there. I wish they just let it be Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have studios. I wander around around people’s attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me Picture Quote #1

I’ve been blessed. I have no complaints. I’ve been surrounded by people in radio, on stage and in motion pictures and television who love me. The things that have gone wrong have been simply physical things Picture Quote #1

The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship Picture Quote #1

When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff Picture Quote #1

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too Picture Quote #1

Every evening, I come home tired and have just enough energy to fill out the endless tax forms, to pay bills, not to let my house neglected and to hear the radio concert for an hour Picture Quote #1

Must be grounded in a philosophy whose foundation is on the solidarity of the human race, a philosophy which will not waver when the race happens to be represented by a drunken woman or an idiot boy Picture Quote #1

Three blokes go into a pub. One of them is a little bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability Picture Quote #1

I’ve been singing for six years. I’ve been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn’t something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn’t ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right Picture Quote #1

The reality is that the media are probably the most powerful of all our institutions today and they, or rather we, too often are squandering our power and ignoring our obligations. The consequence of our abdication of responsibility is the ugly spectacle of idiot culture! Picture Quote #1

A lot of people tend to think that because I need all this time on my own in the studio, that I need time on my own, period. And that’s not really true Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that complement of opposites: body and soul, solitude and companionship, and in the dance studio, contraction and release, rise and fall Picture Quote #1

There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even tacitly take part. And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all Picture Quote #1

Although gravity is by far the weakest force of nature, its insidious and cumulative action serves to determine the ultimate fate not only of individual astronomical objects but of the entire cosmos. The same remorseless attraction that crushes a star operates on a much grander scale on the universe as a whole Picture Quote #1

One of the most visible effects of a child’s presence in the household is to turn the worthy parents into complete idiots when, without him, they would perhaps have remained mere imbeciles Picture Quote #1

Words, isolated in the velvet of radio, took on a jeweled particularity. Television has quite the opposite effect: words are drowned in the visual soup in which they are obliged to be served Picture Quote #1

Man is an idiot. He doesn’t know how to do anything without copying, without imitating, without plagiarizing, without aping. It might even have been that man invented generation by coitus after seeing the grasshopper copulate Picture Quote #1

Ideas are powerful things, requiring not a studious contemplation but an action, even if it is only an inner action. Their acquisition obligates each man in some way to change his life, even if it is only his inner life. They demand to be stood for. They dictate where a man must concentrate his vision. They determine his moral and intellectual priorities. They provide him with allies and make him enemies. In short, ideas impose an interest in their ultimate fate which goes far beyond the realm of the merely reasonable Picture Quote #1

Idiom is larger than geography it is the hot breath of a people singing, slashing, explorative. Imagery becomes the magic denominator, the language of a passage, saying the ancient unchanging particulars Picture Quote #1

After puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious... Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late Picture Quote #1

Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes Picture Quote #1
