More quotes by Mick Jagger
I don't think that being in a full-time relationship is necessarily for everybody all of the time. It's not necessarily some state of grace.
Mick Jagger
Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.
Mick Jagger
Right now I can't be sure that I will be back on stage. We have been touring for two years and that is way too much.
Mick Jagger
We have recorded songs on the same day that were released years later in other albums.
Mick Jagger
I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.
Mick Jagger
In England you're skewered on the altar of pop culture if you become pretentious.
Mick Jagger
It's okay to let yourself go, just as long as you let yourself back.
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
It's like everyone I have dinner with, I'm having an affair with. Who was it I met the other day? Minnie Driver! She seems charming, but that's the only time I've met her.
Mick Jagger
Most people in England don't live in the North, and people are snobby in England, so they wanted a band from the South.
Mick Jagger
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.
Mick Jagger
You can't be jealous and be a leader.
Mick Jagger
Always as a musician you must have one thing you do well.
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
People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.
Mick Jagger
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.
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
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
I don't really like using guns too much, you know, even for sport.
Mick Jagger
Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.
