Paul Rodgers quotes:

Growing up in Middlesbrough [in England], I listened to artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Howlin' Wolf. It was like another world. Something happened to me when I heard that music. It leapt out of the speakers and went straight into my heart. And I thought, "Right, that's what I'm doing."

The simpler the message, the broader the meaning, in many respects.

The spirit of the music and the energy that kicks back from the fans inspires me. To stay centered amidst the chaos I meditate. I first meditated at age 17 and have continued off and on through the years.

To me, that's what music is: creating a mood, and taking the listener to the place that you're going.

I find the more you analyze, the less you really know.
