Every town in America had at least one, two, or maybe three radio stations that played rock 24 hours a day. In England, we had a rock specialist on for two hours a week.

Humor is an amazing way to talk people down off a ledge.

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

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.

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

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