I Never Went To High School Reunions. My Thing Is, Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind. That's My Attitude Toward Life. So I Don't Have Any Romanticism About Any Part Of My Past.

I Used To Be Cruel To My Woman, And Physically - Any Woman. I Was A Hitter. I Couldn't Express Myself And I Hit. I Fought Men And I Hit Women. That Is Why I Am Always On About Peace, You See. It Is The Most Violent People Who Go For Love And Peace. Everything's The Opposite. But I Sincerely Believe In Love And Peace. I Am A Violent Man Who Has Learned Not To Be Violent And Regrets His Violence. I Will Have To Be A Lot Older Before I Can Face In Public How I Treated Women As A Youngster.

You See, We're Influenced By Whatever's Going. Even If We're Not Influenced, We're All Going That Way At A Certain Time. If We Played A Stones Record Now -​ And A Beatles Record -​ And We've Been Way Apart,​ You'd Find A Lot Of Similarities. We're All Heavy. Just Heavy.
