The press has let the country down. It's taken a very amoral stand, in that essential issues are often portrayed as simply one side says this and the other side says that. I think that Fox News and the Republican right have intimidated the press into an incredible self-consciousness about appearing objective and backed them into a corner of sorts where they have ceded some of their responsibility and righteous power.

All you can do is show people...You tell stories that are true and compelling.

Together, we'll live with the sadness. I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.

I always look terrible before the show. That's when I feel worst. And after the show it's like a million bucks. Simple as that. You feel a little tired but you never feel better. Nothing makes me feel as good as those hours between when you walk offstage, until I go to bed. That's the hours that I live for.

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.

I wouldn't be windmilling a Fender Telecaster if it weren't for Pete Townshend.

Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair. The night's busted open. These two lanes will take us anywhere.
