Rock has to absorb other rhythmic forms, because the underlying rhythm of music changes with fashion, and people like to move differently, and the underlying rhythms have to be the ones that people want to dance to.

More quotes by Mick Jagger
I think it's very important that you have at least some sort of inner thing you don't talk about. That's why I find it distasteful when all these pop stars talk about their habits.
Mick Jagger
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.
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
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
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
The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.
Mick Jagger
There's no great technical expertise in being a movie producer.
Mick Jagger
No matter what Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious do, they can't be more disgusting than The Rolling Stones are in an orgy of biting.
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 didn't have any inhibitions. I saw Elvis and Gene Vincent, and I thought, Well, I can do this. And I liked doing it.
Mick Jagger
Thousands of years people have taken drugs, whether it's alcohol, which was invented about 5,000 years ago. People have been using that. And all kinds of marijuana and all these things, tobacco. So all these drugs have been - it seems to be the propensity of human beings to want to use them.
Mick Jagger
It's a real buzz, even in front of 20 people, to make a complete fool of yourself. But people seemed to like it. And the thing is, if people started throwing tomatoes at me, I wouldn't have gone on with it.
Mick Jagger
Life's just a cocktail party - on the street.
Mick Jagger
Anyone taking heroin is thinking about taking heroin more than they're thinking about anything else. That's the general rule about most drugs.
Mick Jagger
I don't watch much ESPN. Unless they have soccer on.
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
The grown-up world was a very ordered society in the early '60s, and I was coming out of it. America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very restrictive society in thought and behavior and dress.
Mick Jagger
Drug use makes you snappy, and you get very bad-tempered and have terrible hangovers.
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
I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
Mick Jagger
