More quotes by 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 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
Americans are funny people: first you shock them, then they put you in a museum.
Mick Jagger
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
I am not very conscious of the figures of speech that I use.
Mick Jagger
I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
Mick Jagger
I don't really like using guns too much, you know, even for sport.
Mick Jagger
If you're really on some heavily addictive drug, you think about the drug, and everything else is secondary. You try and make everything work, but the drug comes first.
Mick Jagger
If you're the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.
Mick Jagger
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
Mick Jagger
Acting is mostly interpretive. They use different parts of you, and different sides of you, and different so-called talents.
Mick Jagger
I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is 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
You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.
Mick Jagger
People have different personalities when they're drunk or take heroin, or whatever drugs.
Mick Jagger
You can't be jealous and be a leader.
Mick Jagger
People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.
Mick Jagger
I wasn't taking so many drugs that it was messing up my creative processes. It was a very good period, 1968 - there was a good feeling in the air. It was a very creative period for everyone.
Mick Jagger
It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
Mick Jagger
I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
Mick Jagger
