But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

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.

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.

The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that.

There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.

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.

I'm not an upfront person. Being upfront is not my forte. I'm quite happy to stay in the back there with the drums, where I belong.

You could put Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on one side of the stage, and James Brown on the other, and you wouldn't even notice the others were there!

I'm not a musician, I just play bass.

I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography.

Nothing about you, my dear, has ever been lost on me.

Whatever action we take may influence the course of civilization.

If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

The legs are the wheels of creativity.

Always ask for advice but never take it.

What's the go of that? What's the particular go of that?

I started being a photographer because I liked fashion. I liked the idea of dressing up and changing my look. I got earrings, dyed my hair. I would dress like a fashion photo.

It feels like guitarists are samurais. You know, I'm playing a guitar, instead of a katana!

People love being around those who serve them.

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?
