I like the idea all memory is fiction, that we have queued a couple of things in the back of our minds and when we call forth those memories, we are essentially filling in the blanks. We're basically telling ourselves a story, but that story changes based on how old we are, and what mood we're in, and if we've seen photographs recently. We trust other people to tell us the story of our lives before we can remember it, and usually that's our parents and usually it works, but obviously not always. And everybody's interpretation is going to be different.
What makes me feel good is that after all these years, the ideas that Joe Perry came up with worked and all the kids loved it.
I don't buy into the idea that you're not supposed to rock & roll after a certain date. Maybe I should be in Bellevue, but I'm just having a good time.
You have no idea how expensive it is to look this cheap.
I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.
And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who were there first.
Mary had a little sheep,With the sheep she went to sleep.The sheep turned out to be a ram,And Mary had a little lamb.
Oddly enough, it's what we started out as, it's what we always have been, and it's almost like Aerosmith is that band in the closet.
Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever.
It was very difficult for me to be the only lyricist in the band.
Everyone's got their problems and their demons, but when we get onstage and play as five, that really all goes away, and that's really all I look at.
The fact that I'm still constantly smiling is a remarkable thing, but I love getting out on the road, meeting my fans. I love hearing them say wonderful things and I love being able to thank them in person for reading me.
I do that a lot of authors still do not do is allow people to write directly to me. I get about 50 fan letters a day, and I answer every single one of them myself. It takes a lot of time and sometimes it's a pain in the neck and I answer the same questions over and over. But the truth is these people come to my readings clutching these letters saying, "You wrote me back. I can't believe you wrote me back", and I think it really means a lot for them to know that the author values them just as much as they value the author.
