My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.
I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.
You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.
I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.
