Roger Daltrey

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.

[on The Who’s performance at Woodstock] It was the worst gig we ever played.

I have to tell you, and I don’t mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.

No, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I’d had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.

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.

My love for the band is still there. It hasn’t changed, maybe that’s why it’s so painful these days.

I have to say, I’m really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date.

Frank Sinatra and Stan Getz had been friends of mine, and I wanted to pay tribute to them.

Congress is like jazz – it’s really about the bills it’s not passing. It’s also like jazz in that most people hate it and anyone who says they don’t are lying.

[on Frank Sinatra] He was a compassionate guy. He loved to have fun. He had a movie theatre in his house. We munched on popcorn and watched movies together.

I like you baby, just not more than my work right now

Thank you to Kanye West and the fact that he is willing to tell the TRUTH. One new and great FACT – African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in the history of our Country. So honored by this. Thank you Kanye for your support. It is making a big difference!

That was me under the bath and the water being held down. The director wanted it to look as real as possible so he told Keanu, in front of me, don’t go easy on her. So it was scary.

There’s something timeless and important about making people laugh, about being the right spot in their day.

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I’m being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.

Yeah, it’s tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I’m really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it’s true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.

For anyone who feels the need to hate, just know I’m looking at my phone like #GirlBye!

My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

I don’t drink, I don’t take drugs, I don’t smoke.

We’re not going out there with somebody pretending to be Freddie Mercury. We are what we are now; we’re not what we were then, we’re just going out, playing our songs.

In Los Angeles, they don’t want you to fail, they want you to die.
