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.

You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.

We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

When I sing, I try to live the song or live the emotion of the song. The space I'm in doesn't exist. It's another world.

We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.

I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn't be able to recall it.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.

We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

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.

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.

Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.

From experience we know that whenever we are truly awake and alive, we are also truly grateful.

Love endeth like the chianti flask, its drops are bitter.

I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference, doing something that makes a difference.

You can't change a man, no-ways. By the time his mummy turns him loose and he takes up with some innocent woman and marries her, he's what he is.

I am a United States citizen and I vote.

If the Europeans want to intervene, that's their business. But if I were president, I would remove every United States soldier from the Balkan peninsula.

Language is decanted and shared. If only one person is left alive speaking a language - the case with some American Indian languages - the language is dead. Language takes two and their multiples.

I'm not Zappa, you know. I'm just Terry.
