I go off into Dublin and two days later I'm spotted walking by the Liffey with a whole bunch of new friends.

I can't be left unsupervised.

Let's face it: I paint well. I know it, you know it. There's no arguing really, is there?

People often get the wrong impression of Mick. The clever businessman is just one side of Mick. The other side is the same as the rest of us, a true rocker!

I have a lot of growing up to do. But I think, 'Hell, is it too late?'

When I'm left on my own I'm my own worst enemy.

When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I'm being taken seriously. I've got highfalutin art collectors and everything!

Having loved the Stones all the time I was growing up, I wasn't about to see them go and split up. It got very close to it in the 80s, when Mick thought that Keith hated him and vice versa.

All of us can't wait to get out there whatever way.

Mick has expressed an interest in coming to the gallery tonight because he's seen me behaving myself lately. He is being much more supportive, which is nice.

With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before.

A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't.

I don't take much stock of detectives in novels - chaps that do things and never let you see how they do them. That's just inspiration: not business.

Two spectrums generate our thoughts … one comes from fear and the other from love. Every emotion in between starts at one of those two places.

Be the hero, the example and the perfection that you are.

Living virtuously is equal to living in accordance with one's experience of the actual course of nature

I know club music has to be infectious and it's got to make you move.

The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave.

Our foibles are really what make us lovable.

Don't miss your life.

We discussed this very important issue yesterday over a beer.
