That's one of the good things about a lot of the young British bands, they are mixing all styles of music. I think that's very good because that's very now.

There is something I like about talking to journalists that really goes beyond promotion because you aren't just talking to the journalist, but you are talking through them to people who presumably are fans of the Rolling Stones. The interviews give you a chance to say a few things and maybe clear up some of the things people read about the band.

The new fashion is to talk about the most private parts of your life; other fashion is to repent of your excesses and to criticize the drugs that made you happy in the other times.

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

People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

I don't think that being in a full-time relationship is necessarily for everybody all of the time. It's not necessarily some state of grace.

I think that people taking drugs occasionally are great. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But if you do it the whole time, you don't produce as good things as you could.
