More quotes by Mick Jagger
You know, being in a rock band, you can't overdo the costume changes too much because everyone thinks, oh, that's not a real rock band. Look how many times he changes costumes. That's not rock. Rock's about going on in a T-shirt and staying in it and getting it all dirty. But that's not really my approach.
Mick Jagger
I don't believe in having bands for solo records.
Mick Jagger
I don't want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn't bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags.
Mick Jagger
I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?
Mick Jagger
Normally I am not so violent. Everything comes from the question: Where will I die? It is a strong concern.
Mick Jagger
I was having a bit of trouble. I wasn't in a good relationship. Or I was in too many bad relationships. I had so many girlfriends at that point. None of them seemed to care they weren't pleasing me very much. I was obviously in with the wrong group.
Mick Jagger
A good thing never ends.
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 Only Rock and Roll.
Mick Jagger
Rock & roll mostly is a very butch thing, and it appeals to one hard side of the masculine character. But I don't think the Rolling Stones are only a rock band. They can be other things. They can be very feminine.
Mick Jagger
You have to write a song around this specific character or to enhance a specific scene. A lot of other craft goes on.
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
You start out playing rock 'n' roll so you can have sex and do drugs, but you end up doing drugs so you can still play rock 'n' roll and have sex.
Mick Jagger
I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
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
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, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don't see it as an immediate problem.
Mick Jagger
The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.
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
Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.
