Rap is something you can just throw on the skillet and fry up real quick. That’s how it comes to me, my train of thought. It’s like getting dressed – I don’t have to sit...

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on ‘Madden’.

In the early ’70s, I started to feel like Philadelphia soul was the black-sheep brother of rock and roll. I decided to try to get away from it.

I’d rather play jazz, I hate rock and roll.

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my...

That’s what rock music is, I think – constantly searching for authenticity, and being as honest as possible.

We’ve been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us – it’s going to be almost like rock music.

Rock stars should be able to tune their own guitars, apply their own eyeliner, and pick out their own leather pants.

If I had my way, I would have sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll at least 4-6 hours a day. So long as there are going to be things in the way of that, we’re...

It’s only rock and roll, my god! It’s not rocket science.

I grew up with British rock.

My grandma is kind of a rock star. She goes to France and all over.

She always says I’m the best friend that she’s ever had… how do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad? ~From ‘Laura’ on The Nylon Curtain

All us Youngs could throw. I used to kill squirrels with a stone when I was a kid, and my granddad once killed a turkey buzzard on the fly with a rock.

I always figure hey, look, I’m not a rock star, I’m an actor. I’m somebody who’s meant to be other people and I’m not meant to be here representing myself. I’m happier when I’m presenting...

The early Stones were adolescent rockers. They were self-conscious in an obvious and unpretentious way. And they were committed to a musical style that needed no justification because it came so naturally to them. As...

Did you come of age in those sweet summers of the early nineteen-sixties, when the airwaves were full of rock and roll’s doo-wop promise of joy and the nation was full of J.F.K.’s eloquent promise...

I am a child of the ’70s, so I love classic rock – Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, and I also love Coldplay.

Washington’s character was rock solid. He came to stand for the new nation and its republican virtues, which was why he became our first President by unanimous choice.

The primary one being, like I said, I don’t like rock ‘n’ roll piano.

The problem is we moved to LA… The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.

I never went through a period were I wanted to be a doctor, a cop or even a rock star. All I wanted to do was play short stop for the Yankees from the time...

House, rap, R&B, disco rock, they are all part of hip-hop culture. Why you ain’t playing Kraftwerk along with Jay-Z? That’s hip-hop.

If you’re gonna use simile, analogy, metaphor, be descriptive and have some flowery adjectives and a few odd nouns and some engaging bits of dialogue or sentiment, then you’re sort of writing a novel, really....

You know, most people, they want to go to Hollywood. They want to be a star. They want to be a rock star. That thought never entered any of our minds, the Van Halen family.

I grew up listening to all kinds of music, everything from country to rock, pop, R&B and even rap, so for me, music is music and a great song is a great song.

I’m like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.

The people of New Orleans have gotten to rock bottom. And the only way out in my mind is for them to really understand it, and then to really choose to get better.

Thousands of cars and a million guitarsScreaming with power in the air!We’ve found the place where the decibels raceThis army of rock will be thereTo ram it downRam it down!Straight to the heart of this...

What is interesting, as well, is how much power homicide detectives have and how much respect. They are kind of rock stars, especially in New York. There are not that many of them.

Every generation of rock musician will understand that we wouldn’t be anywhere without the support of teenagers buying the records.

I think I’ve been addicted to openness since long before my rock career. I was terrible as a teenager. I used to go out of my way to make people uncomfortable with personal details. I...

I sat down one night and wrote the line rock, rock, rock everybody.

I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.

I am, of course, a frustrated rock star – I’d much rather be a rock star than a writer. Or own a record shop. Still, it’s not a bad life, is it? You just sit...

It’s different, it’s weird to say, ‘She’s a white rapper or she can’t do this because she’s this color – this color does this thing. These are the boxes we have, this is what it...

Some people think I’m a rock ‘n’ roll musician and some think I’m a jazz musician but, for me, there is no difference.

The rock sitting on the shelf has potential because it can fall-it’s the same way with the Internet. It has this potential. It’s not really doing it yet, but it’s about to.

I don’t like the word ‘rock star’ or ‘super star.’ I am a guitar player, a songwriter who got lucky because I stayed at it and didn’t give up, long enough that people noticed me.

I think of hip hop as a mass media, radio, MTV thing. It’s been extremely relevant over the last 10 years and rock music is just not anymore—-a tear rolls down my cheek as I...

I write contemporary rock with Jane’s. And I also write house music with people like Kascade.

GN’R was five guys who were all into different things. I liked pop and disco, Izzy was into New York rock, Slash loved Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, Axl was into Genesis and Elton John, and...

I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and ’60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that’s where I got...

I learned to play piano in a rock n’ roll context or band context from country records – you know, Floyd Cramer – and from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Stax. And none...

I think it’s our job to write about what we’re going through at the moment, and being 41, I’m not going to write about the same things I wrote about at 20. I don’t think...

You must stay focused, concentrating on the work at hand. Consistency makes the rain drops to create holes in the rock.

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...
