There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. . .When it works, baby, you've got wings.
You're sitting with some guys, and you're playing and you go, "Ooh, yeah!" That feeling is worth more than anything. There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. You're elevated because you're with a bunch of guys that want to do the same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you've got wings. You know you've been somewhere most people will never get; you've been to a special place.
There's this perception that Mick and I are always fighting. Most of it is very smooth sailing. Every time we stumble across the odd spat, everyone hears about it.

I remember a sense of doom when our first record got in the top 20. It was conventional wisdom at the time that it would all be over in two years.
I haven't met him yet, I can't wait. I'm a Stones fan.
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet.
I didn't know you guys were so big,
Give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string; I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
