Manhattan's always fascinating, too, just a big, stinky, smelly conglomeration of numbered avenues and streets, but it's just got a vibe that's hard to beat. I shouldn't like it, but I do. I can't put my finger on it.

Music and soccer. They would be my two major passions.

In England, rock music very rarely infiltrates the charts, but country music even less so.

If you can't handle the responsibility of a hit single, don't write one.

When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy.

If you don't physically age gracefully, it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything, because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles.

You don't just go with a majority because it's the majority. You go with it because it's right. If it feels right, do it. As long as it's legal.
