More quotes by Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
Pete Townshend
I respect those who follow religious routes only if they seem to me to be morally proper and in accord with the modern world.
Pete Townshend
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.
Pete Townshend
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.
Pete Townshend
Good old Pete. That's me. But I find it hard to think of myself in the first person when I'm writing about The Who. So many times he has willingly sat down to write about the good old Who. Isn't he too old to masturbate?
Pete Townshend
There's a man upon that ledge, he's only cleaning windows. What a shame for the pain we're missing. Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.
Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven
Pete Townshend
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.
Pete Townshend
I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
Pete Townshend
Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
Pete Townshend
It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Pete Townshend
Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you.
Pete Townshend
I sing my heart out to the wide open spaces I sing my heart out to the infinite sea I sing my vision to the sky-high mountains I sing my song to the free.
Pete Townshend
Although I was well past my teenage troubles, our music was specifically designed to lubricate the passage from adolescence to adulthood.
Pete Townshend
Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects. Certainly what we did followed on from what was happening with the angry young men in the theatre.
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
