More quotes by Pete Townshend
Beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real.
Pete Townshend
Deep inside of every human being is this feeling that nothing is ever going to be complete, that the circle will never connect - and that itself is the secret to infinity.
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
The Who got paid 4000 pounds during those days, but we always smashed our equipment that cost more than 5000 pounds.
Pete Townshend
Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you.
Pete Townshend
It's the most psychedelic experience I ever had, going to see Hendrix play. When he started to play, something changed: colors changed, everything changed.
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
Tough boys running the streets, come a little closer. Rough toys under the sheets, nobody knows her.
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
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
Pete Townshend
Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.
Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
Pete Townshend
Let my love open the door To yourheart.
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
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
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend
I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
Pete Townshend
Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.
Pete Townshend
I see a boy with his mother's ambition, performing for love, trained in submission.
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.
