Mick Jagger

Mick: (on performing live) Is it like sex? I don't know. Is there an orgasmic moment? Not that there necessarily has to be in sex. It's a different kind of thing. At times, you have to be more calculated about what you do.

Mick: (on his diet) I don't take it very seriously. I don't have a real diet because I don't really need one; I don't gain weight or anything. But I'm not really partial to junk food and hamburgers and things like that -- I don't really like them, so I don't have a problem. I just eat really well. But I do train, you know, before the tour I've trained for years and years. I have quite a hard training [regimen], but I don't really kill myself, and I enjoy dancing.

Mick: (on his concert film, Shine a Light) When you're shooting a concert, you don't quite know what's going to happen. It's a bit of a wing and a prayer for everyone.

Mick: (revealing he started to write his autobiography but found it too boring I was sitting around with someone talking endlessly about the past, living in it. And I found it rather dull." But the British star, who has been been involved with a string of beautiful women, has not ruled out putting pen to paper. He added: "I'd love to find another form to do it in. A book form but not a showbiz memoir type.

Mick: You call yourself a Christian; I call you a hypocrite. You call yourself a patriot; well, I think you're full of.

Mick: I think you're always prepared to listen to peoples' points of view, but when they're not working you've got to speak up as well. I think social comment is very much part of what the Rolling Stones have always done."

Mick: As a band, we're playing together better than we ever have, ... And we're really proud of (title of new album/greatest-hits package with one new song), so while we know people like to hear the old ones, we hope they also dig the new stuff

Mick: I said, 'You bastard, you planted me with heroin,' ... Don't worry, Mick, we can sort it all out."

Mick: I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age

Mick: Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos

Mick: I`m very different from Keith

Mick: I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age

Mick: I took her for granted, ... I played with her mind. I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

Mick: Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.

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

Mick: Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Mick: I don't believe in having bands for solo records

Mick: 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: 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: My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer

Mick: I got nasty habits; I take tea at three

Mick: Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope

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

Mick: Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind

Mick: I did a bit of voice coaching a couple of years ago, after 35 years. A bit of voice coaching and warm-ups… really helps. I always tell these younger singers: I never used to do it either, but you should.
