No, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I'd had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.

We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.

I can't hit some of the real high notes I used to hit, but it makes you have to explore different avenues.
Roger Daltrey
Image
First of all, you have to understand that I'm like anybody else. When I hear my voice on a record I absolutely loathe my voice. I cannot stand my voice.
Roger Daltrey

I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed.
Roger Daltrey

I don't care what people say about me.

I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience.
