This might seem familiar to some, at least to those that read my bio book (tbh that book doesn't look much different than this one. It's me crying over Brian with some other stupid personal things thrown in as well or shitty selfies or whatever. Idk, but I promise to keep that out of this book.😅)

Anyway well I published this earlier, but this definitely belongs inside this book, so here you go:

I'm not sure if it's very visible, so here's the text, everything in italic are my notes.

Q: How tall are you?
A: Five ft. 8 in. ... but people think I'm even shorter. (JohnsGirl11 here's your answer.)

Q: Where were you born?
A: In Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Q: When?
A: February 28, 1944. (Should be 1942.)

Q: When did you get interested in music?
A: At school - Cheltenham Grammar School. But I was 18 before I started working properly... that was at the Marquee Jazz Club in London.

Q: Do you own a car?
A: Yes - a Humber Hawk at this moment. But before I used to hire a different car each week, just to try each one out. I suppose you could say I'm kinky for cars.

Q: It's said your hair is the longest of all the Stones. Right?
A: Well, I don't know. We don't measure it. Anyway, I think there's a bit too much said about our hair and clothes. I've always felt it is the music that matters.

Q: Any special influence on your career, musically speaking?
A: All the great R and B people affected me. Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry. One of the best things about the times we were out of work was that we could stay in and just listen to the American-imported records.

Q: What are your views of the "adults" who criticize the Stones?
A: A lot of it is due to the fact that we wear clothes and do things that they wouldn't dare do. I just get fed to the teeth when they say we should conform. After all, we don't say they should conform to our standards.

Q: Are you a day person - or a night person?
A: I seem to come to life during the night. Except that I can't buy clothes during the night-time, which is a drag. Contrary to what people think, we spend a lot of money on clothes, even if it's not on hackneyed old mohair suits. (Is it just me or does anyone else feels like he would have really enjoyed online shopping?)

Q: You play guitar and harmonica. Any preference?
A: This is odd. You can play a guitar costing £250. Or a harmonica, like mine, which is just over ten bob. But I honestly prefer harmonica. You get more out of it. You can get a wide variety of sounds... and really "feel" the blues.

Q: Would it have worried you if the Stones had never attained wide recognition?
A: Difficult to say. There were times when we felt we'd never get anywhere, but I know for sure that I'd never give up my music. There was a time when all I lived on was an egg beaten up in mashed potato.

Q: Where do you live?
A: Sorry, but I'm not giving away the adress. I honestly value my privacy too much. But I live alone in a rented flat - and it's full of marvellous antique furniture.

Q: Does being stared at worry you at all?
A: Depends who's doing the staring. But it's all part of the game, isn't it? How could I complain about being recognised when I owe everything I've got to the people who like us. It'd be silly to worry.

Q: Are you a worrier on the musical side?
A: Yes, I think so. I want everything we do to be just right. If little things go wrong on stage, I suppose I get very worried. I just don't like accepting second best.

Q: Do you really smoke as many as seventy cigarettes a day?
A: That number seems to go up every time it's quoted. No, but I smoke when I'm thinking. So it's easy to see how I could cut down.

Q: Any big ambition for the Stones?
A: I'd love us to do well in the United States. Visiting there is a gas of an idea and it'd be marvellous to have a hit record in a country which has produced so many greats.

Q: Do you spend much money on food?
A: I eat simple stuff. I've tried all sorts of delicacies but honestly can't say I like anything more than a good old steak.

Q: Any dislikes about the group business?
A: Yes... one. It doesn't apply so much now, but I used to hate travelling to a job on public transport - be it tram, bus or train. Now, as I've said, it's car... or bust!

Q: Any special memory?
A: With the help of the fans, there've been a lot. But I think actually playing harmonica with the great Bo Diddley was probably the greatest. You don't forget the day a long-standing dream comes true.

Q: Who has been most helpful since you turned professional?
A: Our co-managers Eric Easton and Andrew Oldham, of course. But I'll never forget the early words of praise from the Beatles.
