More quotes by Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.

Pete Townshend
I believe rock can do anything, it's the ultimate vehicle for everything
Pete Townshend
Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play.
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
Rock 'n' Roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them
Pete Townshend
I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Pete Townshend
