If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

The crows may crow, but the hens deliver the goods.

A lot of bands have managed to borrow parts of our style for their music. That's fine with me, because we've borrowed from people like the Stones. But we don't want to sound like we're copying anyone, including ourselves, so we're moving on.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
I heard that your brain stops growing when you start doing drugs. Let's see, I guess that makes me 19.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
When people think of Aerosmith, I want them to think of the music we've made and nothing else. I don't want the responsibility of some young kid trying to live his life like I did back in the '70's.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
I'll tell you what's fun - finding the right stewardess and turning her upside down in the back of a plane.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
Even in the old days, we'd make an effort. When I'd go out to score on Eighth Avenue, I'd get my junk and a chocolate doughnut. But I'd always also pick up one of those pita-pocket health food sandwiches. You know, something really good for me.

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.

My toes are all squished. During an operation, they had to take nerves out.

I think if you were to really peek under the hood of what got Aerosmith back again for our second life in the Eighties, you'll find out that it's exactly this, it's the willingness to take a risk.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
Great melody over great riffs is, to me, the secret of it all.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
I know why we're here. We're all here because we're not all there.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.

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.

Everybody loves you because you are brilliantly awkward.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll... take out the drugs and you've got more time for the other two.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
What makes me feel good is that after all these years, the ideas that Joe Perry came up with worked and all the kids loved it.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
If I was on an island, just for melody, I would take albums by the Stones, AC/DC and the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile.

Rock 'n' roll is sexuality personified.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
People used to ask me, 'What do you reckon you'll be doing when you're 40?', and I told 'em 'rocking out and kicking ass!' Now it's 'What do you reckon you'll be doing at 60?' and the answer's exactly the same. I'm always going to love Jimi Hendrix - 'Purple Haze' will still give me a hard-on when I'm hooked up to a life-support machine. Hey, even when I'm dead, they're going to have a hell of a job nailing the coffin lid down.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
Guns 'N' Roses music was part of the fabric of all people.
Steven Tyler Aerosmith -
I said the same things to Axl [Rose] that everyone said to me when me and Joe Perry were fighting.
