It's an awful world out there. You've got to make people happy.
From Ronnie Wood
I find it hard to get old and hard to say, 'No.'
I'm still digging long-established bands like U2 - they're new to me!
I love to get into a landscape and paint my horses.
I still feel 29. Maybe I should act my age more, but I just can't.
All my life there's always been an ex-wife or a girlfriend.
We do things on an exchange basis in the music business - it keeps the wheels turning. That's how I can get people like Slash, Flea and Kris Kristofferson on my album. Collaboration should be done through trades rather than charging each other a fortune.
Songs are out there - they're waiting to be grabbed. I start with a phrase, musical and lyrical, words like 'I don't think so' and a nice riff. It rolls from there.
When I get intimate with my paintings, it's a real good spiritual thing to get off my chest. Same as playing the instruments is a great release.
All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.
