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 never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

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

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

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.

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.
