Companies spend twenty, thirty, forty percent of revenues on advertising to brand their product and to get, essentially, acquire customers cheaply. You get a lot of exposure on something like this.

I love to play smaller crowds with the Rhythm Kings.

I want to be creative, more adventurous, and that’s why I left.

It’s like a record, when you make a record and you mix it and it sounds good and then it’s mastered and you hear the mastering when it’s all been heightened and all that and...

You never know what your next dig is going to find.

I think anyone would want to see their favorite band in a small club over a large stadium.

Everybody in the band does it for the same reasons, as I do, to have a good time and send the crowd home with smiles on their faces.

I can dig in my garden and find stuff that dates back to the 1100’s.

The Stones introduced all these young people to the blues music, and I’m doing the same thing.

I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.

I didn’t do music for a couple of years; I just focused on other things.

I’m always shy in front of an audience, so I’m always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don’t like the front, the adulation.

If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom.
