Dave Davies

“My brother and I, we're like two dogs that have been chained together for 30 years.”

“My relationship with Ray is a love-hate relationship. It's always been that way.”

“We were all misfits in The Kinks. We didn't fit in anywhere.”

“The guitar is a wonderful instrument which is understood by every language.”

“The Kinks are a bit of a soap opera. We're always having rows. We're very volatile.”

“I've always believed the mission of a rock and roll band is to stir up the shit.”

“I think people should be able to have an opinion of their own. It's the variety of ideas that makes life so interesting.”

“Spirituality is about connecting with the unknown, and that's what music is. It's a search for something you can't see.”

“Music is a way of life, and it's a way of looking at the world, a way of feeling.”

“I just wanted to make a sound that was all my own. I just took a razor blade and I slit the cone of the amp.”

“Creativity is the most important thing in my life, and I think that's true for most people.”

“I think of myself as a spiritual person. I don't really know what the word 'God' means. But I feel connected to a source.”
