My first wife said, 'It's either that guitar or me,' you know -- and I give you three guesses which one went.

I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.

I wanted to be in Rolling Stone number two with a tomorrow feel to it, like an experimental Rolling Stones with Jagger singing.
