Its cool when I meet young guys from other bands who say how much an impact Aerosmith has had on them and how much they like me.I'll give 'em that 'C'mon you don't mean that' routine, but in my heart I know where they're coming from. If I had grown up in the '70's and was into rock n' roll, I know the kind of impact Aerosmith would have had on me. I know the kind of impact that Elvis and Jagger had on me, and while I'm not comparing myself to those guys, I can relate.

So study your rock history, son. That be the Bible of the Blues.

I know why we're here. We're all here because we're not all there.

Throw your hands up in the air and celebrate life.

I get the whole thing, I can't talk about it. But they're talking and they got an offer. I hope Axl[Rose] can see the greater picture and not be mad at Duff [McKagan] and Slash.

I'm really just a country boy.

I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.
