More quotes by Mick Jagger
The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table.
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
I would like to reach a balance and forget a few things.
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
Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.
Mick Jagger
Americans get very simple explanations of what happens to them.
Mick Jagger
People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.
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
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 original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.
Mick Jagger
As long as my face is on page one, I don't care what they say about me on page seventeen.
Mick Jagger
Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.
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
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
Biographies of British pop celebrities are terrible.
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
A good thing never ends.
Mick Jagger
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
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
I don't believe in having bands for solo records.
Mick Jagger
