Quote

Every town in America had at least one, two, or maybe three radio stations that played rock 24 hours a day. In England, we had a rock specialist on for two hours a week.

The best holiday I ever had was the first one I went on without my parents, when I was 17.

As much as I am a huge soccer fan, music just kills it when it comes to importance. I could go to a desert island without a football and survive happily, but if I had to go without music, I think I'd end up killing myself. It fuels my soul. It always has.

In England, rock music very rarely infiltrates the charts, but country music even less so.

I wanted to write a song that's known to the world as a classic, stadium-rock anthem.

With Los Angeles, it's kind of a love-hate thing. Sometimes I think it's marvelous, and sometimes I think it's a dump. It's so fake and I can't deal with how fake it is.

Any idiot who knows five chords can bang a song together. But it's probably going to be rubbish.

Manhattan's always fascinating, too, just a big, stinky, smelly conglomeration of numbered avenues and streets, but it's just got a vibe that's hard to beat. I shouldn't like it, but I do. I can't put my finger on it.

If you don't physically age gracefully, it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything, because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles.

Music and soccer. They would be my two major passions.

To be honest, I'm a bit of a snob now give me a Four Seasons anywhere in the world and I'm happy. Also, they've just opened a Ritz-Carlton in County Wicklow, Ireland, which is stunning and has great views.

If you can't handle the responsibility of a hit single, don't write one.

Writing a song is actually quite easy. Writing a good one is very, very difficult.

The Vatican takes your breath away.

That's why 60,000 people go ape when the Stones play 'Satisfaction.' The songs are part of their legacy, and you fall back in love with them over the years.

We used to have our own plane with the band's name on the side. It was a dream come true. You drive to a local airport. There's none of this checking in stuff you just get on the plane.

The most frustrating thing for musicians who want to play stuff from the new album is when everyone goes out to buy a beer.
