Anyone taking heroin is thinking about taking heroin more than they're thinking about anything else. That's the general rule about most drugs.

The music's rehearsed a lot. All people think about is, they think, in rock 'n' roll, they get the music off right and they think it's okay standing, looking macho. Well, it's not. That's boring. If you want to be a performer you've got to do a lot more work than that.

It's Only Rock and Roll.

Drug use makes you snappy, and you get very bad-tempered and have terrible hangovers.

Taking drugs on a recreation level is one thing. But taking them while you're working on a stage is, I don't think it was that great. It's the control factor. And the thing about being on stage, you really want to feel that you're sort of in control a lot. It's not a place where you want to be out of control.

The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.

People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.
