You never know what your next dig is going to find.

I can't really sing and play live, because I can't play bass efficiently and sing at the same time. If I concentrated on the vocals, I'd mess up the bass, and if I concentrated on the bass, I'd forget the lines.

The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that.

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

I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.
