Ma nel corso della sua lunga carriera ha tenuto molte conferenze, ha partecipato a programmi radiofonici e televisivi, chiacchierato con giornalisti e scrittori, rilasciato interviste mirate.

Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around.
