I have a big ego, but I don't buy into it. I can't live off the ego. It's an honor that I get to be that guy onstage. It's not something I earned.

When people think of Aerosmith, I want them to think of the music we've made and nothing else. I don't want the responsibility of some young kid trying to live his life like I did back in the '70's.

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

I said the same things to Axl [Rose] that everyone said to me when me and Joe Perry were fighting.

I love every bone in a woman's body, especially mine.

Schools, the first thing they cut is music programs. They don't realize how important music is to kids.

I can't live off the ego.
