I've always felt you are only as good as your next album or next show. What you've done is done. When you get a gold record, you hang it on the wall, and then it's like, 'Yeah, next?'
-
There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me.
-
Having really good ideas comes from being able to listen to everybody else and see what their ideas are, because they're coming from a completely different place. That's always been important. It's part of being in a band.

I learned from my dad that there may come a time in life when you need to slow down and take a breath and deal with things, and that's OK, but whatever you do... Don't stop, and don't quit. Even if it's hard, you can't be lazy.

Boston will always be home to me.
-
I'm really just a country boy.
-
Maybe life is random, but I doubt it.
-
The crows may crow, but the hens deliver the goods.
-
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.
-
I know why we're here. We're all here because we're not all there.
-
Because of our excessive touring and not giving up, it wasn't until 'Toys' came out that 'Dream On' really caught on. And then, of course, 'Walk This Way' crept up after that. Things went our way after that.

Good night, everyone- and remember- in this world, if you wanna get ahead, you gotta learn to give a little!
-
In my opinion, Slash is probably one of the last of the iconic guitar players carrying the torch of what it's really all about.

My Get Up and Go Has Not Got Up and Went!
-
They've been stepping on my toes for years. It's just a reason to get new boots.
-
My playing is all about feel. I'm completely self taught: I never took any lessons or anything.
-
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.
-
I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.
-
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.
-
I'll tell you what's fun - finding the right stewardess and turning her upside down in the back of a plane.
-
My feet have been my best friend for the last 40 years. I've just been a dancing fool on stage, and after awhile you just kind of wear them 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.
-
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 I was on an island, just for melody, I would take albums by the Stones, AC/DC and the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile.
