I suppose because I have a good ear, I could pick out harmonies and learn by ear... I still think that you have to have an ear for music to really be able to feel and understand what you're playing. You can learn by watching and listening to other people.

I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce

The Stones don't really need to do it for money, so they must get some kind of pleasure out of it. They're not like a group that's disbanded and gone away and made a comeback. They've always been there.

The Beatles and The Stones were basically inspired by American Rhythm and Blues

Maybe if I go far enough back into my ancestry, I have African roots or something. I've got no idea

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played
