The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame traditionally has had a management style that is very supportive of American talent, first and foremost, over everything else. And I think that's right and proper.

More quotes by Ian Anderson
Seek that which within lies waiting to begin the fight of your life that is everyday.
Ian Anderson
It might work with one orchestra, and the next orchestra - the oboe player might not get it. It's different every time, but some of the orchestras do end up enjoying it and having a great time.
Ian Anderson
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood A rein of polished leather A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky Brewing heavy weather.
Ian Anderson
It's only the giving that makes you what you are.
Ian Anderson
If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest jean store and overturn the racks of blue denim.
Ian Anderson
I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again.
Ian Anderson
When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats. And I felt more comfortable with girls, I didn't really like hanging out with guys. When I was about ten or eleven, I was friendlier with the girls in my school than with the guys.
Ian Anderson
Why do the faithful have such a will, to believe in something? And call in the name they choose, having chosen nothing.
Ian Anderson
Walk the lines of nature's palm crossed with silver and with gold.
Ian Anderson
It's nice to be recognized, but it's not great to have it too conspicuously recognized, if you see what I mean. Gold records on the wall, or titles after your name, it's just not something... I don't feel that great about it.
Ian Anderson
Question all as to their ways and learn the secrets that they hold
Ian Anderson
I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.
Ian Anderson
I think it's really the job of the composer, the artist, the painter, the writer to present people with options. I'm just really reflecting the thoughts and actions around me.
Ian Anderson
When I was a teenager, I really didn't like loud rock music. I listened to jazz and blues and folk music. I've always preferred acoustic music. And it was only, I suppose, by the time Jethro Tull was getting underway that we did let the music begin to have a harder edge, in particular with the electric guitar being alongside the flute.
Ian Anderson
A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
Ian Anderson
Classical music only really came into my life in 1969. I wish I had heard classical music and church music when I was a teenager or even as a child.
Ian Anderson
In most cases, my favorite Jethro Tull songs will be determined by how I feel about them as live performance songs, not by the recorded identity.
Ian Anderson
I'm really terrible with small children they're small, noisy, irritating, damp and soggy.
Ian Anderson
There's always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It's how you lend some authority to what you write - you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little.
Ian Anderson
I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.
Ian Anderson
