Roger Waters Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Roger Waters:

We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.

I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.

Roger Waters

I confess I've never felt like a passenger.

Roger Waters

I'm in competition with myself and I'm losing.

Roger Waters

We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.

Roger Waters

I have no problem with any question.

Roger Waters

It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album, we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight, where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background, pretending to be a mad Arab leader.

Roger Waters

I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's foreign policy.

Roger Waters

I always used to look at books and wonder how anybody could come up with so many words. But my divorce and then falling in love with somebody else has released in me an ability to write in other ways apart from songs.

Roger Waters

Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body's final fall, nor the barrels of death's rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.

Roger Waters

War is hugely profitable. It creates so much money because it's so easy to spend money very fast. There are huge fortunes to be made. So there is always an encouragement to promote war and keep it going, to make sure that we identify people who are 'others' whom we can legitimately make war upon.

Roger Waters

Almost everybody thinks that the fight is about ideology. Everybody will tell you, 'Well, the fighting is all about the Middle East.' 'Well, it's about Muslims starting jihad.' 'It's about terrorism.' 'It's about this or that.' And no, it's not. It's about money.

Roger Waters

I think there are things in my story that have helped my creativity. Your father being killed, for instance, is one of the best things that could happen to a kid if he's going to write poetry or songs.

Roger Waters

To some extent, 'The Wall' is asking the question, 'Do you want a voice? And if you do, you better bloody well go out and get it because it's not going to be handed to you on a plate.'

Roger Waters

Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records.

Roger Waters

You take the risk of being rejected.
