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.

Just follow your gut. If you seriously believe that something is the right thing to do, if you are so convinced that your stomach is knotting up every time someone suggests an alternative way of doing all this, take a deep breath and just say, "You're wrong."

I wanted to write a song that's known to the world as a classic, stadium-rock anthem.

I don't really feel any different when I get up on stage.

There were incredibly few rock songs making it out to the airwaves until the '80s came along.

That's why 60,000 people go ape when the Stones play 'Satisfaction.' The songs are part of their legacy, and you fall back in love with them over the years.

Any idiot who knows five chords can bang a song together. But it's probably going to be rubbish.
