Love & Passion Quote by Ron Wood

"We're great, Jo and me. We're pals, and I guess sex has a lot to do with it. She's also brilliant at clearing a room. So protective, so devoted. I can't believe how much she loves me"

About this Quote

Ron Wood lands on a messy, disarming kind of honesty: the romance isn’t dressed up as destiny or even as “partnership,” but as companionship lubricated by appetite, loyalty, and the weird social physics of celebrity. “We’re great, Jo and me. We’re pals” is the hook; it deliberately demotes the grand love-story script and replaces it with something more survivable for a touring musician: friendship that can take a hit, friendship that can travel.

Then he drops the line that makes it feel unfiltered rather than PR-managed: “I guess sex has a lot to do with it.” The casual phrasing (“I guess”) is doing work. It’s both a brag and a deflection, a way of admitting dependency while pretending it’s no big philosophical statement. For rock stars of Wood’s era, sex isn’t just intimacy; it’s a proof of vitality, a currency, a backstage language. He’s confessing that the bond is physical without pretending it’s pure.

“She’s also brilliant at clearing a room” is the sharpest cultural tell. That’s not romance; that’s security. It hints at a partner who functions as gatekeeper and enforcer, someone who can cut through hangers-on, temptation, and the chaos that accumulates around fame. Calling it “brilliant” reframes what could sound controlling into competence, even rescue.

The last beat - “I can’t believe how much she loves me” - is the vulnerability under the swagger. A man used to adoration is still surprised by devotion that isn’t transactional. The subtext is gratitude shot through with disbelief: he knows exactly the kind of man the rock myth makes him, and he’s astonished someone chose the real one.
