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
People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.
Mick Jagger
Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.
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
People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.
Mick Jagger
I have to get up the fitness level, sing a lot, practice, get in the mood, and generally do lots of rehearsal. Get your body and mind ready.
Mick Jagger
There's hundreds of different ways of writing songs.
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
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
When you write songs, you have to like them yourself first, but then you have to make everyone else like them, because you can force them to play it, but you can't force them to like it.
Mick Jagger
I don't think there's anything wrong with having sex, you know. At any age.
Mick Jagger
Normally I am not so violent. Everything comes from the question: Where will I die? It is a strong concern.
Mick Jagger
I am not very conscious of the figures of speech that I use.
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
You can't be jealous and be a leader.
Mick Jagger
It's not selling out, it is called making lots of money.
Mick Jagger
There's no absolutes in life - only vodka.
Mick Jagger
Life's just a cocktail party - on the street.
Mick Jagger
I don't want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn't bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags.
Mick Jagger
Samba rhythm is a great one to sing on, but it's also got some other suggestions in it, an undercurrent of being primitive - because it is a primitive African, South American, Afro-whatever-you-call-that rhythm. So to white people, it has a very sinister thing about it.
Mick Jagger
I don't really mind criticism in music or in shows and stuff like that at all. I mean, it doesn't really worry me even if it's like out of place. At least it's relevant.
Mick Jagger
