Billy Idol Zitate

When I started out, everyone seemed to be adopting these names... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I wasn't really Rotten or Vicious or Nasty, so I wanted something a bit more funny - yet something that seemed real rock 'n' roll... something that acknowledged my ambition.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als ich anfing, schien jeder diese Namen anzunehmen ... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. Ich war nicht wirklich faul oder bösartig oder böse, also wollte ich etwas Lustigeres - aber etwas, das echt wie Rock'n'Roll aussah ... etwas, das meinen Ehrgeiz bestätigt.

Films don't always tell a story; some films can achieve effect just by being razzle-dazzle or rock n' roll. That's part of the fare that's out there. And that's okay. For me, I place more value on a story.

Robert Redford

The difference between blues, jazz, rock n' roll and rap is that rap stayed poor. Even the white rappers are poor. It's scarier to look at poor people; it makes everyone uncomfortable. Their pain is something that people would like to see swept under the rug.

Russell Simmons

Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too.

Johnny Winter

Jazz came out of New Orleans, and that was the forerunner of everything. You mix jazz with European rhythms, and that's rock n' roll, really. You can make the argument that it all started on the streets of New Orleans with the jazz funerals.

The Edge

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

Kurt Cobain

I don't really want to repeat myself. For the most part, I always want to be doing something new. But there aren't a lot of gritty roles out there for women, and they are so fun to play, everyone wants them.

Rachel McAdams

If your album sells, that's cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band.

Nikki Sixx

I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don't really say that I'm an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.

Chadwick Boseman

I would dream. I focused all my attention on going to America. The subculture, James Dean, the rock n' roll, the beat writers.
