You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.

You think it's all written, but it's not. There's always another way to twist those three chords around.

I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.

I think that's really importa...

I think that's really important, that kids get exposed to music as soon as they can - not necessarily to become musicians, but at least have an outlet. It's an art form that's easily accessible to young ears.

I know that the gift that God...

I know that the gift that God gave me isn't gonna just wither up and die unless I let it die, so it's a matter of me having the faith that it's gonna come out. Whether or not the public's gonna like it is another story. But I think as long as I keep changing and sticking to what I really love - and the same goes for Steven and the other guys in the band - then people are gonna like it.

I don't want fans to think we're clean, upstanding American boys, but we are Americans, and we do stand up.

Steven and I stood on the stage at the Boston Garden after the Stones had just played there and the stage was still up. We had been playing cards, maybe a high-school dance, to 400 or 500, maybe a thousand. We just stood on the stage and thought, 'Well,man,maybe someday.' In 4 years that was OUR stage.

My Portuguese uncle had a Por...

My Portuguese uncle had a Portuguese version of a ukulele. The family would pull it out after dinner and play Portuguese folk songs on it. I couldn't wait for him to finish so I could get my hands on it. I was seven or eight years old. And he used to have a Fender amp in his house and an electric guitar. I would spend hours making sounds.

L.A. was just an inspiring kind of place to be. It felt like going to Paris in the Twenties and Thirties. Everybody's there. Everybody's hanging around. Everybody's talking about music.

I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.

I collect firearms, and I've got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it's got feathers and beads hanging off it. It's like a work of art.

I'm turned off by the groupie thing. I'm a romantic; I like finding the right woman, and if it works, it works.

Joe Perry 55 quotes

After a while, no matter how ...

After a while, no matter how much you love any pop song, you're going to get tired of it. That's the way it is with any entertainment. It's good when you first hear it or see it, you like it for a while, then it gets old. It gets chewed up and spit out and it's done.

Joe Perry 55 quotes

If you get satisfaction out of playing music and entertaining people and it makes you feel right, then go for it.

Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.

I think we're just a garage band that got lucky. It's the enthusiasm from the audience that keeps it going.

The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.
