Famous quotes by Rick Springfield:

"I think it's pretty bizarre, ... I think you look to music to help you through (growing old), and the music that's strongest in your soul is the stuff you heard as a kid. I do that all the time. I listen to old albums and there's almost a spiritual support there."

"They're songs I honestly wish I'd written. I had a huge list of songs but wanted to keep the album a little bit more on the moody side."

"I can wade into an audience now and not lose a limb, so that's great,"

"Certainly with the radio now, a lot of late 20s, 30s and 40-year-olds don't listen to that music. There's nothing in it for them... [but] my son can't get enough of it because it's speaking to him and not to us... .A lot of the music that we hear now starts to sound the same."

"[The four days have turned into a longer storyline.] I think we all need to see how it pans out, ... No one's going, 'Where do I sign?' or 'We're done.'"

"Probably General Hospital had more to do with me getting known physically than MTV did,"

"It's a big number, but I'm OK with it, ... I went through my midlife crisis at about 38 and 39, so I'm over that."

"I'm thought of as very light 'pop-y' kind of music, but it all had very dark undercurrents and I was a very messed up person... there's a lot of double entendre stuff in it."

"I think the new adventurous music is for the kids in a state of flux - they're open to all that - and in 10, 15, 20 years it will be their golden era, and they'll be playing Korn and getting nostalgic."

"Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can."

"I think good art does come from a dark place."

"I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails."

"Relationships and the stress of the world going down, it puts a lot of stress on people, you know financially."

"As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around."

"When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get."

"My wife and I have built trust with our children and have always had open communication."

"I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video."

"Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs."

"You know, everybody is dealing with issues."

"I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean."
