More quotes by Pete Townshend
I believe rock can do anything, it's the ultimate vehicle for everything
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
But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.
Pete Townshend
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.
Pete Townshend
The circling horse was an oblique warning that i would repeat the same mistake eternally. Would the law of averages allow it? Can anything continue without change? Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
Pete Townshend
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
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
We have to focus on his early work, and just one or two of his movies, and elements of his TV shows, to keep his memory pure. People now know that Elvis could play a mean rhythm guitar himself, and needed no other musicians to perform a great song. But Elvis was not just a rock star, he was an all-round entertainer.
Pete Townshend
I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man.
Pete Townshend
I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
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
Like so many addicts, I'd thought that if I could only sort out my life, I could then sort out my drinking. It was a revelation to see that it would be simpler the other way around
Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend
Dance is the only thing that lets you lose yourself and find yourself at the same time.
Pete Townshend
I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
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
As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
Pete Townshend
Once she woke with untamed lover's face between her legs, now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg.
Pete Townshend
