Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.

You know, no matter what I am or what I do for a living, I'm still, you know, the husband and the dad and the protector of the house, and I have to be conscientious about that.

There's nothing like a love for our children. I love being a papa, and that's the truth.

I know Mick Jagger wouldn’t tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.

I love being a dad. I'd have more kids if I could. I'd take a couple more, one or two more before I croak.

Somehow, you need to cling to your optimism. Always look for the silver lining. Always look for the best in people. Try to see things through the eyes of a child. See the wonder in the simplest things. Never stop dreaming. Believe anything is possible.

I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.
