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

Everything had to be done in-between Stones time.

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.

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.

When I record in a studio I don't use an amp. I go directly into the board, so I can get that very fat, full sound - which is my favorite sound.

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.

The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.
