A girl playing rock and roll, it's saying I own my sexuality and I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. And I think people just find that threatening.
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
Rock stars against drugs--that's what we want, isn't it? Government-approved rock-n-roll? Woo! We're partying now!
I like rock music. I like jazz better, though.
Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy to finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one area where I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.
The future of rock n roll is Justin Bieber.
Rock and roll doesn't allow you to grow up - especially if you're not trying very hard to.
Ric Flair is the greatest guy ever. He just wants to hang out, have a beer, and tell stories. He's the coolest. I've never met The Rock though.
I love going to rock concerts, I love to lose myself in that vast wave of rhythm and body heat and get on the same vibe.
To be a parent, especially to rock & roll kids, I think being a parent is the most difficult job on the face of the earth. You hate to say things that will upset your kids, but then sometimes you have to because you can't let them run around wild.
I feel like you've gotta be able to get up every night in front of a live audience. Whether it's 10 people or 50 people or a hundred people, whether you're in a rock band or doing the comedy circuit.
The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.
All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, get laid, have a good time. That's all I ever wanted. Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock 'n' roll band. They threw these musicians at me, man, and the sound was coming from behind. The bass was charging me. And I decided then and there that that was it. I never wanted to do anything else. It was better than it had been with any man, you know. Maybe that's the trouble.
Tony Iommi - the undisputed king of demonic heavy rock riffs. In this area, no one had never surpassed him.
You wanna do this. . . you wanna go right now. . . do you want to, GO?. . . then go get The Rock a bologna sandwich because this doesn't concern you.
The mind God is looking for in man is a doubting, questioning mind, not a dogmatic mind; dogmatic reasoning is wrong reasoning. Dogmatic reason ties a huge rock to a man's foot and stops him forever from advancing.
If I'd been a rock star, I'd probably now be dead.
I'm not a rock singer and I don't want to be a rock singer. I'm not interested. It doesn't seem to get across.
I don't think you can be a mysterious rock star the same way you could in 1965 because there's too much information. Everything you do is available all the time. So the only thing you can rely on is not being false.
