The most frustrating thing for musicians who want to play stuff from the new album is when everyone goes out to buy a beer.

I saw the Stones three years ago at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. and that was mind blowing.

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.

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

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.

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.

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