I never weigh myself. But if I put my trousers on and they don't do up, then I don't eat until I can.

I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.

It doesn't really change, actually. I think The Rolling Stones have gotten a lot better. An awful lot better, I think. A lot of people don't, but I think they have, and to me that's gratifying. It's worth it.

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.

I'm very strict with my packing and have everything in its right place. I never change a rule. I hardly use anything in the hotel room. I wheel my own wardrobe in and that's it.

I have a very old-fashioned and traditional mode of dress. I get embarrassed, and I don't really like going to photo shoots. I don't like stylists.

Rock and roll has probably given more than it's taken.
