Woody and Keith on the road. That tv set looks a bit nervous to me.

“My wife is more of a fan of this band [the Stones] than I am. She likes rock-'n'roll and dancing, and I don't. Given the option, I'd just sit at home and do nothing. I can spend weeks doing nothing at all, which is why I hate going out with Mick. He can't stand still for a second. He's always wanting to do something else."

Charlie Watts, 1999

It’s a lonely existence living with a rock'n'roller. No matter how much he loves you, he will always love his music more. A woman, to live with a rock star, must find her ways of independence.

“I mean, there are certain songs I prefer to forget, you know, like some really early dubs and stuff. But musically, yeah, if Charlie or somebody would say a song, and suddenly we say, "How does that go?" And then suddenly he'll look at me and sort of [imitates the movement of drumsticks as he says "chick-boom"], and we can do the whole song. We may not have even played it for 15 years for something, and suddenly [snaps fingers] it's there. So in that way there's that instinctive musical memory. You don't really know how it works, and you don't wanna.”-Keith Richards (1994)

“I dunno. I mean, I've just spent six months playing with him [Keith], and the last six weeks concentrated in a studio, and we can play certain things really well, extremely well, without even looking at each other. Or he'll do something, I can look and nod and...I don't know if that's something we worked out 30 years ago, or something we've spent 30 years practising.”-Charlie Watts (1994)

Q: It could be said that you've spent decades sitting in a place where you've got a view of Mick Jagger's ass.

Charlie: Yeah, I have. He's fantastic live, isn't he? He's incredible with an audience. For me there's only ever been three people who were that good live. James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Mick. They're mesmerizing. I mean, Mick—people look at him. They always have done, even when we were kids. They always looked at him. Especially on stage. I would hate it.

Q: You would hate it?

Charlie: Oh, yeah. I don't mind doing something up there. But standing there like that, no, I hate it. That's why he loves to get me to—you know when I walk to the front to say something? Oh, Mick loves that, because he knows I hate it.

Journalist: He's torturing you.

Charlie: Yeah. And he knows that. It's awful.
