I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I missed singing so much. And performing. Man, I missed it so much.

So don't get me wrong, I love my songs, and I still love hearing them. That's history, baby.

When I do a concert and people put their hands in the air, they're doing it on their own.

The people need to feel the music. That's what's so important, and that's what is missing. You have to let the audience feel you, you have to let them feel the love, feel the rock 'n' roll, feel the energy.

Stage performing is a dying art form.

But, you know, the Stones were my opening act in the Sixties. I loved those British guys, the way they just stood there and shook their hair.

I never tried to kill myself or anything.
