There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.

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.

Your state of consciousness defines your state of mind and your state of happiness.

One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.

Gifts become curses when they’re not given their due respect.

I wish I could take back every interview. Over and over again, I read them later, and either I'm misquoted or I said something stupid. I'm just not very good at it.

My parents never really lecture me.

I told them not to worry about it, since we were going to play indoors.

But I want you to know, and I want you to have it very clear that I did NOT quit on each and everyone of you. No. Because you guys have never quitted on me.

A conglomerate heap of trash, that's what I am. But it burns with a high flame.

Blessed be all metrical rules that forbid automatic responses, force us to have second thoughts, free us from the fetters of Self.
