Charlie Watts

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night. ↗

I'm very strict with my packing and have everything in its right place. I never change a rule. I hardly use anything in the hotel room. I wheel my own wardrobe in and that's it. ↗

A lot of our tracks have sounded a lot better than I thought they would because of recording, mixing, and because I probably didn't hear it that way. I'm not a songwriter. ↗

I don't like drum solos, to be honest with you, but if anybody ever told me he didn't like Buddy Rich I'd right away say go and see him, at least the once. ↗

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them. ↗

I think it's an awful drink, to be honest with you. ↗

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing. ↗
