“I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography.”

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.

The meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative.

I’m not a musician, I just play bass.

My first record I owned was by Les Paul.

Everything had to be done in-between Stones time.

All of my books are about researching. I do all the research and I give it to a writer who can put it in the written word better than I could.

You’re always frustrated, you don’t have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

Because of the fashion, the young people don’t have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can’t earn any money doing it.

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.

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

It’s all right leaping about the stage when you’re 20 but when you get to 25 it gets a bit embarrassing

With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.

The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.

I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.

I always got great respect as a bass player.

God has this…hobby. He creates perfection. This world is not perfect. We have to learn to separate illusions from reality.

The way Calvin’s brain is wired, you can almost hear the fuses blowing.

The secret to enjoying your job is to have a hobby that’s even worse

My own hobbies are rather quiet. I like to read and do needlework, and I love animals.

My No. 1 hobby and interest is being a mom. It’s something that makes me passionate, you know?

Photography has saturated us as spectators from its inception amidst a mingling of laboratorial pursuits and magic acts to its current status as propagator of convention, cultural commodity, and global hobby.

The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house.
