I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.
Chrissie Hynde
Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they?

Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!

In my experience lust only ever leads to misery. All that suspicion and jealousy and anguish it unleashes. I don't want those things in my life.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't like to be recognized on the street or in restaurants, and I don't like the whole celebrity thing.
Chrissie Hynde
All these fifty-year-old guys wearing baseball caps and shorts and acting like children. It winds me up. Men don't have to take responsibility anymore. Most of the guys I know would punch me on the nose for saying this, but maybe we do have to bring back conscription.

When you're in a band and you're a girl, you know, guys just don't ... it's not the same kind of a groove as a girl walking up wearing a mac with nothing on underneath, or knocking on someone's door at three in the morning.

I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
Chrissie Hynde
Whatever I'm already doing becomes enhanced when I smoke pot. It can also be demotivating, because if I'm not doing anything and I smoke a joint, it enhances just sitting in a chair. Then I don't even want to get up to change a record. That might not be a bad thing, but you have to get things done once in a while.
Chrissie Hynde
I always thought if a guy could play the guitar, he must be something really special.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't wish to embarrass anyone.
Chrissie Hynde
I hope there is an edge to what I do.
Chrissie Hynde
Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.
Chrissie Hynde
You try to be arrogant in songs because you can't be in real life.
Chrissie Hynde
There's this celebrity thing that goes along with making records or being a rock star. I'm into this celebrity thing just enough to let me go on making records and making a living out of it.

I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't want my children to be at a disadvantage, growing up in the limelight, because then they have to live up to an identity already cut out for them, relating all the time to being so-and-so's daughter or so-and-so's son.
Chrissie Hynde
If you don't have a flag sticking out of your ass, you must be a communist.

I think Bob Dylan's a good songwriter. I think he's the best songwriter in the world probably.
