I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalized with serious problems.

I was making guitars and I was a sheet metal worker and if you ever see sheet metal workers' hands, you've never seen so many cuts in your life.

The Who would never have been successful without two special people, Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp

My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.

There is certainly more in the future now than back in 1964.

My place, your place, slapped face, rat race.
