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.
I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography.
With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.
I always got great respect as a bass player.
I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that.
Everything had to be done in-between Stones time.
I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.
You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.
