Mick Jagger
People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.
Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger
It's okay to let yourself go, just as long as you let yourself back.
Mick Jagger
You have to write a song around this specific character or to enhance a specific scene. A lot of other craft goes on.
Mick Jagger
I don't spend money on anything. I don't collect anything. I don't spend it on furniture.
Mick Jagger
When we heard we were topping the bill over James Brown we couldn't believe it. We tried for two days to get it changed round - I mean you can't follow an act like that.
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.
