Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.

About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.

It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.

I don't regret nuthin.

When you're supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill.
