I pretty much grew up when punk was big in the UK. The Sex Pistols were heroes for me. I used to run around like Johnny Rotten. I had a jacket like his. – Gavin Rossdale
As much as we all love playing live, it’s not normal to be on the road all the time, to have no home. – Gavin Rossdale
I think it’s pretty normal that there are a lot of people out there who don’t like us. – Gavin Rossdale
When I first began to write, I was writing on bass, because I was thinking more Public Image, more dub. – Gavin Rossdale
It’s pretty hard to make out what’s going to be a commercial success and what’s not. – Gavin Rossdale
I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others. – Gavin Rossdale
For the sound we produce, everybody is equally important. Each of us has a very different personality and that is what keeps Bush alive. – Gavin Rossdale
As an artist, you’re pretty sheltered backstage. You often don’t know what’s going on out there. – Gavin Rossdale
I love what I’m doing most of the time, but it’s hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don’t know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in. – Gavin Rossdale
Playing live, you can’t survive, certainly not in England. We used to work daytime jobs and play gigs at night. It was very exhausting. – Gavin Rossdale
If you just keep your head down and just try and do your thing, sometimes magic happens. – Gavin Rossdale
The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich. – Gavin Rossdale
I love playing live, I don’t like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience. – Gavin Rossdale
I quite like Low, the band from Minnesota. They’re absolutely mesmerizing. I get much the same feeling from anything that Will Oldham does. – Gavin Rossdale
I don’t see myself as the boss. I sing and write the songs, and it would feel strange if somebody else wrote the lyrics I sang. – Gavin Rossdale
Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration. – Gavin Rossdale
I don’t know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think. – Gavin Rossdale
