All of my books are about researching. I do all the research and I give it to a writer who can put it in the written word better than I could.

There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.

I'm not an upfront person. Being upfront is not my forte. I'm quite happy to stay in the back there with the drums, where I belong.

I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.

I don't make any money.

It's all right leaping about the stage when you're 20 but when you get to 25 it gets a bit embarrassing

If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom.
