I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!

For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

I think one of the most valuable things Aerosmith has is the energy we produce when we all play together.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.
