"I thought I knew her, my cagey lady, How could my sunshine be so damn shady"
"It's like sitting on the back of an elephant with an iron trying to get out the wrinkles."
After firing Megadeath as their opening act, Steven Tyler was quoted as saying: "We would like to help you out. Which way did you come in?"
"Confuscious says that crowded elevators smell differently to midgets!!"
"You have no idea how much it costs to look this cheap."
"We haven't quite been able to put together the deal for the shuttle -- we want to be the lounge act. Be the first band to play weightless!"
"You know...sometimes I'll be looking out at the audience and I'll be in the middle of a song, and I'll just stop dead. I'll look out at them, and think what is this... There's one thing that keeps me doing it though, I really love it, I believe in it."
"When people think of Aerosmith, I want them to think of the music we've made and nothing else. I don't want the resposibility of some young kid trying to live his life like I did back in the '70's."
"We're in this on a day-to-day basis. There's not a certain point in the future where we say, 'Well here we are, there's $X million in the bank. We've done it,lets pack it in now.' It's a case of the old thing- its not the destination, its the journey."
"Aerosmith-one of the 10 best bands today? Yeah definitely."
"If it shakes you in the right places, it's Gods gift."
"My get up and go has not got up and went."
"But, you know, if Joe Perry can get straight, then, REALLY, anybody can."
"If you cross a river enough and get soaking wet enough times, pretty soon you learn how to step on the rocks. And somtimes there's someone folowin' ya and ya gotta loosin' the stones."
On the basis of songs- "It's like a cage of ribs, it don't look like much, but it holds all the stuff in."
"If you don't got what Joplin had, then the only roots ya got are in your hair"
There's nothing like an Aerosmith Groove.
If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.
The secret to enlightenment is to lighten up. Weather you are talking rock or women, the fever's what its about. The band has the fever. We're all here because we're not all there.
If our fans are out there driving down that information superhighway, then we want to be playing at the truck stop. This is the future-so lets get it going.
Keep your nose to the grindstone, it sharpens your booger.
I don't buy into this idea that you're not supposed to rock 'n' roll after a certain date. I'm looking to be the lounge act on the space shuttle so I can sing "Walk This Way" on the ceiling.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
But most of all, the train that kept rollin all night long of rock n' roll you cannot kill. It will live forever.
Just saying no to drugs is like just saying cheer up to a manic depressant.
Everything I've every loved was immoral, illegal, or grew hair on your palms.
You got the right key baby, but the wrong keyhole.
"Herd Sheep"...What ST replied when asked what he would do if he was the last person on earth.
I heard that your brain stops growing when you start doing drugs. Let's see, I guess that makes me 19.
Something tells me we ain't in Kansas anymore Yodo Yah ah ah ah ah !!!
"Of all the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the most."
"It's not the COUGH that carries you OFF. . . . It's the COFFIN they carry you OFF IN."
"Well, I took a perfect pill this morning, Bruce. Along with a suck pill"
"Moist. That's a *good* word. I like that word!"
We weren't too ambitious when we started out. We just wanted to be the biggest thing that ever walked the planet, the greatest rock band that ever was. We just wanted everything. We just wanted it ALL!
The light at the end of the tunnel . . . IS YOU!!!" (at Woodstock, '94)
(When asked what's the best revenge he has ever gotten, Steven responded,) "Our comeback."
