The problem with the Moodies is not what to play, it’s what to leave out! That’s always difficult. We stopped having support acts many years ago just because of that. We needed getting on to two hours; there’s such a big catalog to call on. Justin Hayward Read Quote
I certainly know that on our first tour of America in 1968, David Crosby came to see us backstage at the Fillmore East in New York, and I was very pleased to meet him from Buffalo Springfield and that kind of stuff. He didn’t ask me anything about the music, but he said, ‘Where’d you get your clothes, man?’ Justin Hayward Read Quote
I would say trust your own judgment and develop your own style that is true in your heart and don’t be deterred from that. Just develop that something that’s unique to you that you feel you can give. Be true to yourself, trust your own judgment; that’s all. Justin Hayward Read Quote
America was the one territory where they didn’t release ‘Nights In White Satin’ at the time it was made. It was about three or four months later, after ‘Tuesday Afternoon,’ so I think we have a special fondness for it. Justin Hayward Read Quote
I was born in Swindon… a place that always looked west. I found that wherever I go I love to have a room with a view of the western sky. My late brother and I, when we were small, had a room at the back of the house that overlooked the sunset; and both for he and I it was kind of magical. Justin Hayward Read Quote
My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life. Justin Hayward Read Quote
I sometimes don’t know what songs are about for several years after I’ve written them. Justin Hayward Read Quote
I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else’s feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that. Justin Hayward Read Quote
And if you stop and think about it you won’t believe it’s true: That all the love you’ve been giving has all been meant for you. Justin Hayward Read Quote
