Mick Jagger People Quotations

People have different personalities when they're drunk or take heroin, or whatever drugs.

I wasn't understanding enough about drug addition. No one seemed to know much about drug addiction. Things like LSD were all new. No one knew the harm. People thought cocaine was good for you.

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.

Most people in England don't live in the North, and people are snobby in England, so they wanted a band from the South.

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

I think, like most people, my moral values tend to be pretty fuzzy.

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.

Iraq has lost 5 percent of its population, a number that in the U.S. would equal 14 million people.

It's heartening to return to live music, heartening for people like me in a band. It's a very traditional thing to return to. It re-validates the original form that we fell in love with.

I don't like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.

I read the most extravagant things about people who suffer and depress because of things written about them.

Americans are funny people: first you shock them, then they put you in a museum.

People don't bother to check with anything anymore. They just like to speculate in print. We like fact-checking!

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

People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.

I was never that interested in business, to be honest. I do the minimal amount of business as possible because I'm not actually interested in it as a thing. But some people are interested in it, and there's nothing wrong with that.

People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

I think people are afraid to express their opinions half the time.

You have to realize that everyone in a band is all more or less together, and everyone has their own niche, and some people lead in some ways, and some people lead in others.

Lets drink to the hard working people Lets drink to the salt of the earth

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.

If you get to be a really big headliner, you have to be prepared for people throwing bottles at you in the night.

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.

I don't think enjoying life is an exclusive prerogative of young people.

For some people it's real therapy to talk to journalists about their private lives and inner thoughts. But I would rather keep something to myself.

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.

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.

It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what? Lots of people are critical.

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

I'm very ambivalent in my feelings about marriage. I think it promises a lot to people - sort of like saying, once you get married you are on the highway to heaven, and quite often it isn't that. I think marriage has always been based on a combination of religious and legal reasons.

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.

I think that people taking drugs occasionally are great. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But if you do it the whole time, you don't produce as good things as you could.

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

Samba rhythm is a great one to sing on, but it's also got some other suggestions in it, an undercurrent of being primitive - because it is a primitive African, South American, Afro-whatever-you-call-that rhythm. So to white people, it has a very sinister thing about it.
