If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom.
My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.
I love to play smaller crowds with the Rhythm Kings.
I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that.
With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.
