Mick Jagger

A good thing never ends.

A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day.

Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

I am not a librarian of my own work. It's a good thing not to be too involved with what you have done.

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.

I can't get no satisfaction.

I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.

I got nasty habits; I take tea at three.

I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over.

I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.

I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.

I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?

I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm forty-five.

It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.
 

My secrets must be poetic to be believable.

Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.

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

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.
