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

I think that people taking drugs occasionally are great. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But if you do it the whole time, you don't produce as good things as you could.

It's not selling out, it is called making lots of money.

I wasn't taking so many drugs that it was messing up my creative processes. It was a very good period, 1968 - there was a good feeling in the air. It was a very creative period for everyone.

Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.

People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.

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.

Iraq has lost 5 percent of its population, a number that in the U.S. would equal 14 million people.

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
Image
I really don't see myself being apart from music. I like doing lots of different things. I've been involved in film for quite a long time and I just like doing film.

Image
I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?

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

Life's just a cocktail party - on the street.

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.

If you are British, you soon get used to people not loving you. The Irish remind us of offenses from 100 years ago. Perhaps we should react to what the French did to us even longer ago.

I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.

Americans are funny people: first you shock them, then they put you in a museum.
