Famous quotes by Pete Townshend:

"If I keep at it, with luck we should see a great new Who record before I drop dead. What helps is that I love Roger and he loves me and we are both willing to work and wait."

"Why should I care? Why should I care? ... 5:15"

"I simply believe we have a duty to go on, to ourselves, ticket buyers, staff, promoters, big and little people. I also have a duty to myself and my dependent family and friends. I also want to help guide Roger and the rest of the band at this time, all of whom have been shaken by John's death."

"My autobiography now offers me the chance to lay down my life story and place recent events in proper context, ... I have had a long and lumbering life -- this book will take time."

"I have high hopes for the whole tour to be shared to a wide audience at home in a mixture of pay-per-view and free special Web casts. Some of the proceeds will go to charity, of course."

"I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf."

"We tried not to age, but Time had its rage"

"I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man."

"The fact of the matter is, I'm f**king brilliant. Not 'was' brilliant. 'Am' brilliant."

"I don't know where I'm going I don't know what I need But I'll get to where I'm going to end up And that's all right by me"

"I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'"

"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."

"I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion."

"Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color."

"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."

"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."

"I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth."

"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."

"What we learned quite early on is what was really important to early British pop that we produced-and this is where we were distinct from almost everybody else in this respect-is that it had to reflect exactly what the audience wanted us to say."
