There was a period of time where I really hated rock music.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.

There are times when what's happening in rock is the best music in the world, and there are times when there is nothing worthwhile at all.

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.

I never really felt like a rock singer or a rock star or whatever.

Some of the best rock shows I ever saw were those appealing to all your senses.

I'm starting to feel like so much of rock music is derivative and boring.

I think that's one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool.

I mean, like, rock n' roll was always about spirit and fun.
