Text Quotes
I want to age with some dignity  (Pete Townshend Quotes) It’s an ordinary day for Brian. Like, he died every day, you know  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Parade your pallor in iniquity  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I bought a Dutch barge and turned it into a recording studio. My plan was to go to Paris and record rolling down the Seine  (Pete Townshend Quotes) For a while I was perfectly happy not performing with ‘The Who.’ From 1982 to 1989 I felt ‘The Who’ did not exist. I let the band go, in my heart. However, Roger Daltrey had other ideas. He would not let go  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects. Certainly what we did followed on from what was happening with the angry young men in the theatre  (Pete Townshend Quotes) But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol’s work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell’s soup can  (Pete Townshend Quotes) As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that’s what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic  (Pete Townshend Quotes) What the Who is all about is exactly that and it always has been. If it exists today for this concert, it’s in response again to a function which is happening out there on the street  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won’t mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I only really started to go to plays and to be interested in drama 20 years ago when as an artist I was already well-rounded. I think I’m more disciplined today  (Pete Townshend Quotes) When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I think we are incumbent, I am incumbent, the Who is incumbent, anybody that produces anything by me is incumbent by my Englishness  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Everything that I had done creatively related to two or three incidents that happened to me when I was a child that I’d forgotten. Everything, absolutely everything  (Pete Townshend Quotes) What the English like to do is to face reality with a glass of port and a tear and fade off like Basil Rathbone into the sunset  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I don’t really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Your love is like heroin  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I want to get inside your bitter mind and see what I can find  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Man makes machines to man the machines that make the machines  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I saw the Internet as being something which would allow power mongers to control us, and that we would willingly go to that if it promised us salvation - if it promised to show us who we were and let us find ourselves as we had, uniquely in our generation, through rock music.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) Although I dig my guitar playing, I think it’s kind of an obvious situation; I play what I want to play within my own restrictions.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) In a sense, the God we trust politically is a slightly different God than the one we bring into the fray when we enter a rock concert. One of the things I can say with absolute conviction is that I worship that God.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) The bad part about growing older is I’m going bald. The good part is my nose seems to be getting shorter.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) I’M FREE! - I’m free, And freedom tastes of reality, I’m free - I’m free, An’ I’m waiting for you to follow me.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) It wasn’t just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) It’s terrible feeling like an eligible bachelor but no women seeming to agree with you  (Pete Townshend Quotes) In order to have faith, or follow any other organized religion, I’d have to suspend a degree of disbelief.  (Pete Townshend Quotes) What the English like to do is to face reality with a glass of port and a tear and fade off like Basil Rathbone into the sunset.  (Pete Townshend Quotes)
