It will come out when it is ready. What's the point of trying to give yourself deadlines that aren't really important? I think we have to get it good before we can finish it.
It was fun to sing somebody else's song.
I was off the ground, ... There I am, living my fantasy.
Monterey, I remember, but I seem to remember the Fillmore West, that we played the week before Monterey. That was much more memorable for me. The first time in San Francisco. They were good gigs.
I haven't got much hearing left and what I have I want to keep.
We've had three or four scripts written, and we've never quite nailed what we wanted to do. We've got a new writer. A very famous writer, a Pulitzer Prize winner indeed. I can't name him because I don't know the situation at the moment. You can't tell someone's life story in two hours on film.
We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.
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.
I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
I enjoy singing; being in touch with something that is inside of me.
Unless you've been touched personally, it's difficult to see, but there are millions of people who have no voice whatsoever.
I used to be a great blues singer.
I don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself.
You can do too much and oversell your market.
