Roger Daltrey's Quotes

• I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed. Who would have ever thought that I'd end up saying that I want to be an all-around entertainer? But that's what I want to be.
• [on The Who's performance at Woodstock] It was the worst gig we ever played.
• You know, I was a school rebel. Whatever they said do, I didn't do. I was totally anti-everything. I was a right bastard, a right hard nut. I just totally closed the doors to ever wanting to know what they had to teach me. Rock & roll was the only thing I wanted to get into.
• Of course, chicks keep popping up. When you're in a hotel, a pretty young lady makes life bearable.
• I don't want to stop and I don't think Pete (Pete Townshend) does. We're at the pinnacle of our decline.
