It's a real buzz, even in front of 20 people, to make a complete fool of yourself. But people seemed to like it. And the thing is, if people started throwing tomatoes at me, I wouldn't have gone on with it.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.
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.

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.

Most people in England don't live in the North, and people are snobby in England, so they wanted a band from the South.

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.

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.

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.

We have recorded songs on the same day that were released years later in other albums.

I don't want to be singing Satisfaction when I'm 40.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.
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.

I don't want to be my extravert self all the time.

Everyone knows what their roots are, but you've got to explore everywhere. You've got to explore the sky too.

Biographies of British pop celebrities are terrible.

People also like partnerships because they can identify with the drama of two people in partnership. They can feed off a partnership, and that keeps people entertained. Besides, if you have a successful partnership, it's self-sustaining.

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.

I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.
