People say I play real loud. I don't, actually. I'm recorded loud and a lot of that is because we have good engineers. Mick knows what a good drum sound is as well, so that's part of the illusion really. I can't play loud. Charlie Watts drumengineergood share on social
I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing. Charlie Watts adulationdrumfall Change image and share on social

When people talk about the '60s I never think that was me there. It was me and I was in it, but I was never enamoured with all that. It's supposed to be sex and drugs and rock and roll and I'm not really like that. I've never really seen the Rolling Stones as anything. Charlie Watts 60sdrugenamour share on social
You'd imagine Mick would be the happiest person in the world, and yet a lot of the times he isn't. Charlie Watts happyimaginelot Change image and share on social
Mick's not good on his own problems, but he's very good at other people's. He's been wonderful over the years. I don't mean I ring him up every week, but he's fantastic. Charlie Watts fantasticgoodmick Change image and share on social
