I've never had inner turmoil about all this. You find a lot of people these days who cannot stand to be alone. You could lock me up in solitary for weeks on end, and I'd keep myself amused.

One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab

Anything you throw yourself into, you better get yourself out of.

It's good to be anywhere.

I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records.

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

I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
