Ian Hunter

“Rock 'n' roll is a young man's game. But I'm not a young man.”

“I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.”

“It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll, from the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl.”

“The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.”

“I wanted to be a lead guitar player, but I was a tad clumsy.”

“You get a bit of a spark and you're off. You can't really force it.”

“I'm a writer. I'm not a singer.”

“I'm the only one who's not in a nostalgia band. I'm still writing new stuff.”

“You're trying to find a new way to say the same thing. Love and hate. Life and death.”

“Glam rock was a respite from the long-haired, denim-clad, boring hippy thing.”

“The minute you stop wanting to be a star, you are one.”

“All the young dudes carry the news.”

“Basically, I'm a shy person, but I have a persona. I'm not a person you'd bump into at the supermarket.”

“I don't like being told what to do. I don't like being in a situation where I'm not in control.”
