I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I’ll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It’s a little embarrassing to admit it; I’m an old man now. It’s important to me though.

You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe – and you have the Rolling Stones!

You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
