One of the great things about songwrighting; it's not an intellectual experience

To me, as long as we've known each other, I've always thought Mick's most brilliant thing was that he could work in an area two foot square and give a very exciting performance.

I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.

Preaching is tax free. Very little to do with God, a lot to do with money

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

I personally believe that most people that play an instrument would be able to write a few songs here and there. But they say, "I tried, I can't do it" and give up and don't try it again; they get too discouraged.

A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
