You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.

The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.

I have seen more bad songs make it because of MTV than good ones that haven't.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

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

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.
