I think in some ways - only in some ways - but in some ways, rock and roll has let me down. It really doesn't leave you a way to grow old gracefully and continue to work.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
You were born to rock, you'll never be an opera star.
The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.
Remember when you used to watch TV in the Sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock 'n' roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.
There's an edge to real rock 'n' roll. It's all that matters.
My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die.
I never believed in much, but I believed in you
It's really the first time a filmmaker, and a filmmaker of Steven Spielberg's caliber will collaborate at this level on an original game. He understands how our medium works and wants to push it in different directions, putting innovations in a game that no one has ever seen before.
I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, let this music have us.
I had a playback party for Homegrown for me and about 10 friends. We were out of our minds. We all listened to the album and Tonight's the Night happened to be on the same reel. So we listened to that too, just for laughs. No comparison.
It's incredibly exciting to be collaborating with Steven Spielberg, ... He shares our vision for the potential of the medium and has the passion and creativity to help us finally deliver on the promise that a game can not only engage and compel you with its interactivity, but can also move you emotionally.
It's better to burn out, then to fade away.
