Daryl Hall

“I've been traveling around the world forever.”

“I'm always interested in what fans think.”

“Reject what you don't want. Get rid of dead wood.”

“I have to say I have never been comfortable with somebody else telling me what to do - in any way.”

“I don't like showboating. I was never a fan of showing off.”

“To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.”

“I've been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.”

“Nobody's going to sell 10 million records by not working hard.”

“In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well.”

“If you see me walking down the street, you're gonna see the same guy as you do on stage, dressed the same, looking the same, and nothing changes. I'm just one person.”

“Yes, I travel in unusual circles. George Osborne and his wife Frances are my cousins.”

“Most artists try to avoid cliches, but it's pretty hard to avoid them if you yourself end up being one.”

“The whole American pop culture started in Philadelphia with 'American Bandstand' and the music that came out of that city.”

“Every artistic form has its golden age, and unfortunately I think the golden age for whatever I do probably ended about 1990.”

“My fan base is really expanding into an inter-generational thing - it's what every artist probably hopes for.”

“As I got older, my voice got better.”

“If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage, it's funny to see what happens.”

“I love antique architecture, so if I have any indulgences, I have owned and renovated and reconstructed a lot of old houses.”

“Everybody who I ever cared about has told me that they like my music: Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Al Green, The Spinners, Smokey Robinson. Everybody that matters.”

“I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.”
