I love ‘Guitar Hero’ because I love music, but I have no musical ability whatsoever. So I love a game that makes you feel like you’re a rock star.
There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.
I never really felt like a rock singer or a rock star or whatever.
You can’t trust politicians. It doesn’t matter who makes a political speech. It’s all lies – and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
I was always slightly afraid of marriage because I didn’t like the idea of being tied down. Even when I met Brian, when I was in my mid-thirties, I didn’t actually see it on the cards for us. He was a huge rock star, and our lives were very different.
I’m remembered as a model who dated a rock star or 10, among them Steven Tyler, Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, Jimmy Page, and Rod Stewart.
I know what it felt like to walk into school and have kids say, ‘Mr. Spangler’s here!’ And I thought, what if I gave that power to a parent so the kid looks at them and says, ‘Dad, let’s make a smoke ring launcher in the garage today.’ What parent doesn’t want to be a rock star?
A rock star, according to my definition, is someone who inspires people around him with something he is best at. In my case, it’s music, but I wanted audiences to realise there is a rock star waiting to be unleashed within them as well.
If you want to find somebody and you want to be married and you want to have children, don’t make it a rock star.
Being onstage is like being rock star. Whereas if you’re doing a movie, it’s such a confined space. You know, you do a comedy, it’s so hard, too, ’cause with a comedy, there’s no vocal reaction, there’s no energy that you get back that spurs you on to be funnier because everyone has to be quiet.
What’s amazing is that I’m recognized all over the world through ‘Red Dwarf.’ British fans are exceptional, but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours, just to meet me, then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!
