I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.

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.

I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

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

Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
