I would like to be remembered as a – somebody who could rock your soul or make your cry with a song. And somebody who’s kind, who loved to laugh, and loved his God.

I would have to say I’m bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I’ve done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn’t...

The main thing to know about me is that I’m a champion of entrepreneurs and the startups they build. They are my rock stars. If in doubt, I side with them, and that’s clear from...

Fall 2013 was inspired by the 1970s equestrian lifestyle. I wanted to incorporate the moody and romantic – intricate baroque detailing and classic menswear elements – with something tougher and edgier in a nod to...

You only get one go at it… might as well Rock it.

We seek to forget ourselves, to be surprised and to do something without knowing how or why. The way of life is wonderful. It is my abandonment.

The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.

I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first of all, has got to be put into the context of being an American cultural showcase. It’s there to be a museum showcase of all...

’30 Rock’ is the holy grail of comedy in my opinion.

Anthemic rock music is inherently fascist – anything intended to move huge masses of people is politically offensive to me.

There’s something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.

I enjoy looking at old photos of some of my favorite rock icons, but also get inspired from the younger bands that are coming up and really creating their own style, their own image.

Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world.

All You Need Is Love” in homage to their memory.

If Music is a Place — then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple.

People had this idea about becoming rock stars packing stadiums instead of having the goal of becoming what musicians used to be in terms of how they would perform and connect people.

What heartens me is to see ’30 Rock’ on the air. It makes me laugh from my gut, which I really like to do.

I’ve been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.

Personal branding is important to me as a person. It’s also important to me as a non-person. I am a rock.

Do it again and again. Consistency makes the rain drops to create holes in the rock. Whatever is difficult can be done easily with regular attendance, attention and action.

My generation had the best years. We missed the Second World War and caught the outburst of rock ‘n’ roll.

I can pour myself into Bon Iver. It’s a thing about self- and mental discovery, and those are all important things. But it’s not 148-shows-over-a-year-and-a-half important, though. It’s a machine, and it’s money, and you...

When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events – collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors – because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.

I went from being a kid-kid, listen to everything from The Beatles through Kiss, Peter Frampton, Jethro Tull classic rock, classic stuff into immediately, it seemed like, Iron Maiden and stuff like that. The first...

In 1969, I wrote a musical called ‘Mother Earth.’ It was a rock musical with an ecology theme. We did it at the South Coast Repertory Theatre in Southern California where I was a member....

I’m not gonna be a slave. I’m a rock n’ roller.

Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.

I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that’s a great thing.

Pat Benatar might need a rock band, but I can just sit with a blues guitar for an hour and a half and do folk songs and great contemporary ballads, and not many people can...

I don’t drink water, because if water can erode rock, think what it can do to flesh.

Before I got into rock n’ roll, I was going to be a dentist.

The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always...

Like almost all of Beefheart’s recorded work, it was not even “ahead” of its time in 1969. Then and now, it stands outside time, trends, fads, hypes, the rise and fall of whole genres eclectic...

We agreed that at least to some extent the whole punk movement is based on the Buddha’s 1st noble truth of suffering & the dissatisfactory nature of the material world. The punks see through the...

Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it’s sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a...

A writer is like a stick of rock – the words go right through.

You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we’re just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball...

I guess my music taste is pretty predictable: I like new indie rock stuff, older stuff.

Again Sam’s genitals became rock, and this astonished him as much as anything. Through Franz, he was becoming the stone Earth; the final border separating him from the planet was disappearing. And this transformation to...

There seems to be an inclination among rock musicians to be very carefree with money, but I negotiate the best flight and hotel deals on our tours to maximise the band’s income – I don’t...

The only people playing the roles of classic rock stars are hip-hop artists, now. Kanye’s stage persona, and the way he approaches making albums, and the way he wants to be better than everyone else?...

We are Darwin’s confetti. Some of us fall on bare rock. No matter how good you are, you can fail spectacularly. Just because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or just...

I mean, you want the truth as you wanna hear it? I can’t do that. You couldn’t afford me.

When I think of artists that I would have loved to work with, it’s Jimi Hendrix. And Steve McQueen. He’s not a rock star, but he’s kind of a rock star to me.

I’m introverted, and I pay attention to my muse… Record companies used to go mad and say ‘We don’t know the deal with you. You have no continuity at all. You give us ‘Addicted to...

I think you sometimes have to go hit rock bottom before you can grow and rebuild as a person.

Rock & roll was the only thing I wanted to get into.

There’s something advantageous about being a woman in rock versus, say, a woman in chemistry or construction. There’s definitely a built-in sexism across the board, but I think you’re afforded a degree of freedom in...
