More quotes by Mick Jagger
I didn't want to make teenage comedies, and I didn't want to make really trashy films. I wanted to make films that were a bit challenging.
Mick Jagger
I always think it's better to be not taking drugs or drinking or anything. That's not saying I've never done it because I have. But I sort of learned I think after a while there has been - it didn't take me that long to realize that it wasn't a good thing.
Mick Jagger
Rock has to absorb other rhythmic forms, because the underlying rhythm of music changes with fashion, and people like to move differently, and the underlying rhythms have to be the ones that people want to dance to.
Mick Jagger
I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?
Mick Jagger
Killing for ideas is the most dangerous form of killing at all. Being willing to die for your ideas rather than your country is another concept, but dying for an idea, like in religion, is absurd.
Mick Jagger
Always as a musician you must have one thing you do well.
Mick Jagger
When we heard we were topping the bill over James Brown we couldn't believe it. We tried for two days to get it changed round - I mean you can't follow an act like that.
Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger
I didn't have any inhibitions. I saw Elvis and Gene Vincent, and I thought, Well, I can do this. And I liked doing it.
Mick Jagger
It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
Mick Jagger
Right now I can't be sure that I will be back on stage. We have been touring for two years and that is way too much.
Mick Jagger
People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.
Mick Jagger
I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
Mick Jagger
I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.
Mick Jagger
If you're really on some heavily addictive drug, you think about the drug, and everything else is secondary. You try and make everything work, but the drug comes first.
Mick Jagger
I don't believe in having bands for solo records.
Mick Jagger
Dandelions don't tell no lies.
Mick Jagger
It's not selling out, it is called making lots of money.
Mick Jagger
I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.
Mick Jagger
Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.
Mick Jagger
