More quotes by Pete Townshend
I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven
Pete Townshend
It's terrible feeling like an eligible bachelor but no women seeming to agree with you.
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
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
I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
Give love, and keep blood between brothers
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 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
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
Pete Townshend
Backstage, I get sleepy, and want to curl up and snooze. I never get nervous, whatever the event. I feel quite detached until I walk on stage, and then some gear inside me clicks and off I go like a wind up doll.
Pete Townshend
Man makes machines to man the machines that make the machines.
Pete Townshend
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
Pete Townshend
We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.
Pete Townshend
I played the guitar for ten years before I realized it wasn't a weapon.
Pete Townshend
Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.
Pete Townshend
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.
Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend
