There are bands like Imagine Dragon, Grouplove, and fun. who have come along and shifted the way that rock can sound.

I'm trying to make music that I like, and I love hip-hop. At the same time, I love guitar. I love rock and everything.

The Dolomites are the most beautiful rock mountains in the world, but in a few million years they will just be desert.

Not to be mean about it, but some great rock and rollers, like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, are pretty one-dimensional.

As much as I am hip-hop, I'm soul. As much as I am soul, I'm a turntablist. As much as I'm a DJ, I love jazz and rock.

The rock star is dying. And it's a small tragedy. Rock stars have blogs now. I have no use for that kind of rock star.

We sing in English, not mimicking some American rock singer's accent. That's just pretending to be something you ain't.

You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

Contractual obligations may not allow it, but that's a big dream of mine, to be able to make an album with a rock band.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

I just love when girls rock short hair, because they can't hide behind anything. I feel more empowered with short hair.

I'm a singer-songwriter. So I play guitar, and I sing. Along the lines of, I guess you could call it, alternative rock.

I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.

I'm severely overrated. I'm just above a hack. That should be the name of my new DVD: 'Chris Rock: Slightly Above Hack'.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

People still think I led a rock and roll lifestyle. I was in my kitchen 100 hours a week; I didn't have time to do that.

I plug into a lot of old rock & roll. Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis - I love all that stuff.

The guy who could be me, but he knows when to draw the line, is John Cena. John Cena can rock 'n' roll, let me tell you.

Even though I was a rock 'n' roll fan, hearing the raw blues was like listening to music on a much deeper kind of level.

I feel like at 50 I've decided to become a rock star, which is, you know, typical of me. I always seem to work backwards.

You're not a rock n' roll person four hours a day or even when you're on stage. It's become the rhythm of your whole life.

'School of Rock' is fun. Hopefully, I've fleshed it out with a few catchy songs and kept the spirit of the original movie.

I grew up listening to a lot of emo music, a lot of rock music, a lot of rap music, a lot of trap music, funk, everything.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

I was a really crazy kid. I'm still a crazy kid. That's the nice thing about being in a rock band. You can feel 14 forever.

If I want to be called 'The Rock,' I'll be called 'The Rock.' If I want to go back to wrestling, I'll go back to wrestling.

I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.

Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!

To me, rock n' roll is rock n' roll. I try to think of it as that. To me, Funkadelic and Metallica exist in the same world.

If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are.

I don't think we listened to any rock n' roll at all in the early days. It was Miles Davis and John Coltrane 95% of the time.

I didn't know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.

When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.

The first rock stars were incredibly theatrical. Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley - they were theater artists.

I'm really focused and obsessed with writing things that are specific. I don't like big rock lyrics - I find them infuriating.

I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.

Hip-hop belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's one of the most radical, revolutionary and reactionary music there is.

I'd love to do something like put a piece of moon rock on Mars and a piece of Mars on the moon, a sort of reverse archaeology.

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

I love to sing big rock and roll songs; I love to sing country-pop stuff, and then I love to sing soft, sadder beautiful songs.

Poached quince are so tender, aromatic, and rosy that you'd hardly believe the raw fruit is white, fibrous, and hard as a rock.

I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.'

I'm a rock climber, a high-altitude climber, an adventurer, a storyteller through my museums, and a writer of more than 50 books.

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.

Along with rock climbing, I hike and I like to go to the beach, anything outdoors and anything that takes me out of the everyday.

A lot of singers find a musical genre people like and stick with it. That's being a conformist. I sing ballads, rock, salsa, rap.

When I see a good singer, I get teary-eyed. Part of it is jealousy because all comedians are frustrated rock stars. That's a fact.

When I have 7,000 people plus at Red Rock just for a show of mine, I think it's wonderful to get that many people to come see you.

I love classical music. Yes, I was in a conservatory when I was younger and played guitar and all that stuff, so I also love rock.
