There are plenty of people in the world who have tried to be rock stars and have not gotten there.

Rock became an incredible commercial success, people just became bored with serious music, and it was forgotten.

Rock and roll's relatively new, in the sense of the Fifties, Sixties, right? They invented the first sort of rock stars, and they took it to excess, and then the excess became bitter, tormented. Then it became okay to succeed.

Rock music is niche.

It was always my belief that rock and roll belonged in the hands of the people, not rock stars.

I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists - you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they're 70.

I think it would be really awesome to be a rock star.

Being a rock star isn't all it's cracked up to be, let me tell you.

I'd rather be a musician than a rock star.

I never really thought in terms of the concept of being a rock star - being around people like that just seemed like normal day-in-the-life stuff to me. Those were just the surroundings I grew up in.
