There’s a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don’t know what it is. But I’ve got it. – Ron Wood
I go off into Dublin and two days later I’m spotted walking by the Liffey with a whole bunch of new friends. – Ron Wood
Jo left me a few months ago for 10 days. I get this note: I’ll come back when the real Ronnie comes back. – Ron Wood
We’re great, Jo and me. We’re pals, and I guess sex has a lot to do with it. She’s also brilliant at clearing a room. So protective, so devoted. I can’t believe how much she loves me. – Ron Wood
I’ve got an article where my mum says that I used to run home from school to watch the Stones on TV. Right from when I was at college I wanted to be in that band. – Ron Wood
People often get the wrong impression of Mick. The clever businessman is just one side of Mick. The other side is the same as the rest of us, a true rocker! – Ron Wood
They say you can smoke 400 cigs a day and drink 20 cups of coffee, but you can’t have a line or a drink again. – Ron Wood
Having loved the Stones all the time I was growing up, I wasn’t about to see them go and split up. It got very close to it in the 80s, when Mick thought that Keith hated him and vice versa. – Ron Wood
We got touring with the Stones, and people were trying to keep up with Keith. He’s like a human machine with a constitution of iron, and they all thought they could do the same. – Ron Wood
Mick has expressed an interest in coming to the gallery tonight because he’s seen me behaving myself lately. He is being much more supportive, which is nice. – Ron Wood
I just think my body can’t handle it any more. I did try a little drink a while back, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an immediate depression, and felt awful, just dreadful. So that’s it. I’m over it now. – Ron Wood
My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I’ve got two uncles who are in their 90s now. – Ron Wood
My real self is probably more creative and more frightening than any sort of drink or drug-induced state. – Ron Wood
The last show we played, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was… good. – Ron Wood
When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I’m being taken seriously. I’ve got highfalutin’ art collectors and everything! – Ron Wood
I heard this massive thud. I spun around, and there Keith was, on the ground. He’d cut his gums up on impact, he was very bloody, and clutching his head. I think it was a kind of wake-up call for him. – Ron Wood
Mick says, Would you join the band? I say to him, Mick, you know I’d be there in a New York minute. – Ron Wood
