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

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.
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
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

I don't believe in astrology. It's a lot of crap. I just think that's another thing you should throw out the window. Mysticism. Cheap. It's amazing that people still hang on to that after all these years.
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
That's one of the good things about a lot of the young British bands, they are mixing all styles of music. I think that's very good because that's very now.
Mick Jagger
Boys, as far as England was concerned, were always the hard core. And you just know the guys like it. They want to be you. Some might be attracted to you without knowing it.
Mick Jagger
Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.
Mick Jagger
The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.
Mick Jagger
It's okay to let yourself go, just as long as you let yourself back.
Mick Jagger
I don't spend money on anything. I don't collect anything. I don't spend it on furniture.
Mick Jagger
I love country music, but I find it very hard to take it seriously. I also think a lot of country music is sung with the tongue in cheek, so I do it tongue in cheek.
Mick Jagger
Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.
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
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
