Steven Tyler

The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.

Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever.

It was very difficult for me to be the only lyricist in the band.

I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.

I mean, as long as it doesn't have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.

Fake it until you make it.

As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

I love the woods even more than the ocean.

Dogs have a lot of love.

I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.

Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
