“Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back ...” — Joe Perry Quote

“Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.”

“The bottom line is fans just want to hear a good song. Some people will look underneath to see who wrote it, but they just want to hear a good song. And if they don't hear it, they're not going to buy it just because you wrote it.”

“I have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America, so, granted, it is part of our heritage, and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.”

“There was never going to be a right time for a band that was still recording and had health in its environment, had made a very good record and was playing well.”

“I've got a good record, but maybe, for whatever reason, it's not built up by people. I wouldn't say I'm hard done by. But it's true that I sometimes don't get the praise.”

“I thought 'Gutterflower' was a really good record, but the album before that got so big that everyone expected us to go through that again.”
