I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm forty-five.

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.

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.

I always think it's better to be not taking drugs or drinking or anything. That's not saying I've never done it because I have. But I sort of learned I think after a while there has been - it didn't take me that long to realize that it wasn't a good thing.

I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over.

I would like to reach a balance and forget a few things.

Many Americans have no idea of what has been the foreign policy of their country. If you don't know about something, you can't understand what is going on.
