And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.
As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.
Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.
But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.
Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
Fake it until you make it.
Great melody over great riffs is, to me, the secret of it all.
Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.
I don't mind being a grandfather; I've been a mother for so many years. You just can't believe what it's like being a father. Especially when you come out of the chaos of the road to getting married and having children.
I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.
I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.
I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.
I mean, as long as it doesn't have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.
I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.
I was a white boy with these big lips, so all the kids on the block made fun of me.
I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.
I'm really just a country boy.
I've got scarves and boots from' 1970 that I still wear.
If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.
If you take all that I've learned from Joe and all that Joe has learned from me, and you throw all that into a song, not only are you using the gifts that God gave you, but also all the experiences you've had.
It was very difficult for me to be the only lyricist in the band.
Life's a journey, not a destination.
My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence; they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.
Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever.
Now I'm way into suits that I can put on whether I took a shower or not, and wear barefoot and paint my toes black or whatever color the suit is. It's very cool to wear suits like that. Roll up the sleeves and just say yee-haw.
Oddly enough, it's what we started out as, it's what we always have been, and it's almost like Aerosmith is that band in the closet.
So we got together in Boston and got an apartment and lived all together and paid the rent and it's been that ever since.
The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who were there first.
We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel, I think there should be a mandatory draft, where you go away for the service of your country for three years.
We need to go back to the way it was 30 years ago, when everybody had Grandma and Grandpa, and we were willing to pass moral judgments about right and wrong.
When that second airplane hit the building, we all changed. We need to get back to some serious thinking.
