More quotes by Mick Jagger
Quite often when I record a song, writing it and making a demo is the big thing and, after that, I think, how do I actually translate this into real life? A lot of the time I think I can't be bothered.
Mick Jagger
Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.
Mick Jagger
It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
Mick Jagger
Of course, I do occasionally arouse primeval instincts, but I mean, most men can do that. They can't do it to so many. I just happen to be able to do it to several thousand people. It's fun to do that.
Mick Jagger
The new fashion is to talk about the most private parts of your life other fashion is to repent of your excesses and to criticize the drugs that made you happy in the other times.
Mick Jagger
It's hard to believe that you did so many drugs for so long. That's what I find really hard. And didn't really consider it. It was eating and drinking and taking drugs and having sex. It was just part of life.
Mick Jagger
I like to have a peek, see what the audience is doing during the opening act, because it gives you a clue and gives you a good feeling of where you are - the air can be different in different places.
Mick Jagger
They're so boring. They're so pathetic, all those journalists. Most of them are. Most of those kind that write gossip stuff, and most of it's gossip. Things are just invented about your personal life and you just have to take that. It's bullshit. People believe it, though. They just believe everything they read.
Mick Jagger
I think it's very important that you have at least some sort of inner thing you don't talk about. That's why I find it distasteful when all these pop stars talk about their habits.
Mick Jagger
I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
Mick Jagger
Acting is mostly interpretive. They use different parts of you, and different sides of you, and different so-called talents.
Mick Jagger
The Beatles were so big that it's hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were.
Mick Jagger
No one, but no one, is equal, or ever will be. Elvis was and is supreme.
Mick Jagger
Music should elevate you. You can be raised, or left stranded. You can't be raised all the time, in my experience. This might be a rare moment. You might just go up to that level but that's always good.
Mick Jagger
When you start a new project, no matter if it's a movie like Enigma or an album like Goddess, you are always learning something. While I search, I find something new.
Mick Jagger
People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.
Mick Jagger
Goddess was made in my home in France. The material retained an integrity whit it would have lost in Los Angeles studio.
Mick Jagger
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
Mick Jagger
I don't really like using guns too much, you know, even for sport.
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.
