You're sitting with some guys, and you're playing and you go, "Ooh, yeah!" That feeling is worth more than anything. There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. You're elevated because you're with a bunch of guys that want to do the same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you've got wings. You know you've been somewhere most people will never get; you've been to a special place.

To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.

When you're supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill.

You can't accuse me of anything I haven't already confessed to.

Rock and Roll: Music for the neck downwards.

There's something beautifully friendly and elevating about a bunch of guys playing music together. This wonderful little world that is unassailable. It's really teamwork, one guy supporting the others, and it's all for one purpose, and there's no flies in the ointment, for a while. And nobody conducting, it's all up to you. It's really jazz__that's the big secret. Rock and roll ain't nothing but jazz with a hard backbeat.

You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
