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.

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

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.

The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table.

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.

Biographies of British pop celebrities are terrible.

Rock & roll mostly is a very butch thing, and it appeals to one hard side of the masculine character. But I don't think the Rolling Stones are only a rock band. They can be other things. They can be very feminine.
Mick Jagger
Image
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
Mick Jagger

Drug use makes you snappy, and you get very bad-tempered and have terrible hangovers.

If you are British, you soon get used to people not loving you. The Irish remind us of offenses from 100 years ago. Perhaps we should react to what the French did to us even longer ago.

Boys, as far as England was concerned, were always the hard core. And you just know the guys like it. They want to be you. Some might be attracted to you without knowing it.

The Beatles were so big that it's hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were.
Mick Jagger

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.

I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.

In England you're skewered on the altar of pop culture if you become pretentious.

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.
