These days there's so much technology and ways you can learn. There are videos and CD roms.

I've never stopped learning.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

I do to keep things sounding fresh. Sometimes just changing the running order of the show is a good idea.

I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.

I never advise anyone to sacrifice something else because of music, but then I don't see why they would have to anyway.

What I've always lacked is a really strong band to back me up.

I had to learn chord shapes. I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music.

I'm sure if we had made an album that was more traditional would have been released immediately. When we actually play this music on stage and people become familiar with it, it will become more popular.

I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.

It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released.

I have a really good band, and just returned from a short tour in California. It hasn't always gone that well.

I suppose because I have a good ear, I could pick out harmonies and learn by ear. I still think that you have to have an ear for music to really be able to feel and understand what you're playing. You can learn by watching and listening to other people.

I didn't think of myself as a lead player, especially when we did live shows, because me and Keith used to switch around all the time. He'd take a lead, I'd play rhythm. Sometimes even within one song. It wasn't strict and regimented.

I certainly want to get back to the U.S. to play. It's such a big country. I've always liked playing there, and enjoyed living there. I lived in New York, LA, and Florida.

The Stones don't really need to do it for money, so they must get some kind of pleasure out of it. They're not like a group that's disbanded and gone away and made a comeback. They've always been there.

It's nice to finally have a CD out which reflects my songwriting, my singing and the band that I have.

I play the piano a lot at home. I write songs on the piano and guitar. I would like to actually play piano on stage. I don't think I'll get the chance for a while.

It's sometimes impossible to fit in all the music we want to fit in, in an hour and 45 minute show.

Altamont... I remember all of that. That was an awful day.

Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players. male and female.

I don't know why, but I never felt I was gonna stay with the Stones forever, even right from the beginning.

If it wasn't for Mick, the group would've fallen apart a long time ago.

If you've been playing for a few years, especially in a group context, you'll see if you have the ability or the passion to want to carry on. It's something that you have to be dedicated to and you've got to love, no matter what happens.

Maybe if I go far enough back into my ancestry, I have African roots or something. I've got no idea.

The Beatles and The Stones were basically inspired by American Rhythm and Blues.

These days there's so much technology and ways you can learn. There are videos and CD roms.

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce.

The Blues scene now is international. In the '50s it was purely something that you would hear in black clubs, played by black musicians, especially in America. But from the '60s onwards it changed.

The most important thing is to follow your instinct and get involved with some friends who have similar tastes and aspirations and like music as much as you do.

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

The world has become more complex as technology and easy travel mixes cultures without homogenizing them.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.

Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.

Like all tools, modern technology has produced some wonderful moments in music and also some horrors.

In my column series "The Main Thing," I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

Effective use of Braille is as important to the blind as independent mobility, knowledge in the use of adaptive technology, and the core belief that equality, opportunity and security are truly possible for all people who are blind.

Most of the debate over the cultures of death and life is about process. The debate focuses on the technology available to determine how we prolong life and how and when we end it.

I think we can be the very best place to start a business, to grow a business, to invent a new technology, to change the world, to change the country. But we've got a lot of work to deliver a new California to the people of California.

Life is about family and technology.

I've always been interested in the relationship between total external surround, culture, the political matrix, technology, etc., and the internal human consciousness.

Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future.

Some people think technology has the answers.

The People's Republic of China has not yet reached the military might of the Soviet Empire. It requires a little more time and a little more infusion of Western aid, loans, technology and the hard currency of our tourists.

The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.

We had to address information technology in the ways we had not before and give the agents the tools that they need to do their job more efficiently and more expeditiously.
