Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.
There is something I like about talking to journalists that really goes beyond promotion because you aren't just talking to the journalist, but you are talking through them to people who presumably are fans of the Rolling Stones. The interviews give you a chance to say a few things and maybe clear up some of the things people read about the band.
It's not selling out, it is called making lots of money.
Americans shocked me by their behavior and their narrow-mindedness.
Dandelions don't tell no lies.
The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.
Lets drink to the hard working people Lets drink to the salt of the earth
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.
I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.
I don't like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.
I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs.
People also like partnerships because they can identify with the drama of two people in partnership. They can feed off a partnership, and that keeps people entertained. Besides, if you have a successful partnership, it's self-sustaining.
I don't want to be my extravert self all the time.
Anyone taking heroin is thinking about taking heroin more than they're thinking about anything else. That's the general rule about most drugs.
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.
The music's rehearsed a lot. All people think about is, they think, in rock 'n' roll, they get the music off right and they think it's okay standing, looking macho. Well, it's not. That's boring. If you want to be a performer you've got to do a lot more work than that.
I don't think that being in a full-time relationship is necessarily for everybody all of the time. It's not necessarily some state of grace.
I liked John a lot. He was the one I really got on with the most. We weren't buddy-buddies but we were always friendly. But after the Beatles and the Stones stopped playing clubs, we didn't see each other that much until he separated from Yoko, around 1974. We got really friendly again. And when he went back with Yoko, he went into hibernation ... when I went to visit someone in the Dakota, I'd leave him a note saying: 'I live next door: I know you don't want to see anyone, but if you do, please call.' He never did.
Normally I am not so violent. Everything comes from the question: Where will I die? It is a strong concern.
My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer.
I, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don't see it as an immediate problem.
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.
I always think it's better to be not taking drugs or drinking or anything. That's not saying I've never done it because I have. But I sort of learned I think after a while there has been - it didn't take me that long to realize that it wasn't a good thing.
I love America, but I can't spend the whole year here. I can't afford the taxes.
If you're the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.
