Peter Frampton

“I'll always be remembered for 'Frampton Comes Alive!,' but I've got so much other work that I've done since that, that I feel it's almost like after 'Frampton Comes Alive!' ran its course, my career - I'll say it - 'Petered' out.”

“I had so much out there, the world was going crazy about 'Comes Alive!' I didn't need to go and rush into something else. You're only as good as your last record, so don't put one out for a while.”

“When you put the phone down at the concert, there's your 3-D, there's your HD.”

“Music is now becoming 'free,' and it's very difficult for new artists to start.”

“I was petrified about 'I'm in You.' I couldn't wait to get it done to know whether it was good or not.”

“Most rock movies are never authentic - you'll have someone supposedly in 1958 playing a 1990 guitar, and a 1986 microphone.”

“I'm lucky that I enjoy playing live; it's my passion to do that. There's certain artists that never want to play live. They just want to be in the studio. Good luck, because there is no income.”

“It got to the point where I couldn't afford to borrow any more money to lose. Know what I mean? That was just before 'Frampton,' my fourth album. As we were recording it, I was very down and depressed.”

“I formed Humble Pie when I was only 18. We were one of the first 'supergroups,' with Steve Marriott of The Small Faces on guitar and Greg Ridley of Spooky Tooth on bass. With Humble Pie, I tasted American success for the first time.”

“I was allowed a freedom as a baby boomer to do whatever I wanted to do. My parents were able to give their permission because they just felt, 'Why not?' I joined my first band and dropped out of school.”

“Everybody wants to be on the front cover of 'People' and 'Rolling Stone.'”

“I pile up the press clippings and send them off to my mother. She's got a scrapbook going back to when I was, like, eight years old.”

“The more simple my life is, the happier I am.”

“People tell me they got married to 'Baby, I Love Your Way.' It's heart-warming - I've been part of so many people's lives.”

“In 1978, I had a near-fatal car accident in the Bahamas. There was a point when I could have lost my right arm - but it was good because it forced me to slow down and take a break.”

“You can't listen to 'Frampton Comes Alive!' without smiling.”

“When you don't have someone, you feel you want someone. Then when you do, it's nice to be single for one night.”

“I think, at some point, I might have said it must be great to be as big as Elvis, but that wasn't a realistic dream.”

“The rule is to try and never play the same thing twice when you have the freedom to do that in the song.”

“Money never meant that much to me.”
