A Matter Of Opinion

“I can't write songs unless I’m playing loud. Once I feel comfortable with something I’m trying to write, I stand up and play it.”

September 2, 1977

Songwriting

“I can't write songs unless I’m playing loud. Once I feel comfortable with something I’m trying to write, I stand up and play it.”—Paul

Shoes

“I have no regular shoes. I have four pairs, all this height. I have a black snakeskin model which I designed. There’s a black leather model with gold dollar signs in front. There’s a sleeked-down version. And there’s your basic silly pink boots which I only put on for effect. I like platforms. I don’t like being six-one, I like being six-eight!”—Gene

High School

“I was a loser in high school. I was the kid who wasn’t invited to the parties, and now I throw the parties.”—Paul

Being Recognized Without Makeup

“It felt really weird at first—like, Hey! They know who I am without my makeup on! Maybe now that we’ve been around on tour so many times, the kids can see right through it and we can’t hide.”—Peter

Old Age

“I’ll always have guitars. But I’m also a painter. In my later years I’ll probably go back to oil painting.”—Ace
