If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV.
As a kid, I always went to therapists; the first time was when my parents were separated on my sixth birthday, then on and off since then.
Every day, I wake up, and the first thing I think of is my kids.
I know Mick Jagger wouldn't tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.
It is the people who scream the loudest about America and Freedom who see to be the most intolerant for a differing point of view.
I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.
To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.
I really do hope that the people will like 14:59. The critics seem to like it. We got a lot of good reviews.
Mick Jagger can't even make a successful solo album, and the Stones are the biggest rock group that ever was.
I surfed Dana Point, San Clemente, and of course Huntington Beach. Every morning, you could find me at the hot water pipe.
The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it.
There's always something to suggest that you'll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.
Mick Jagger is one of the greatest athletes who ever lived, just for how much he puts into it onstage.
I think soldiers are not just one homogenous group, just like Americans aren't. They all have different feelings about the war.
I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world.
Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn't know that at first.
I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
It's in my stars to invent; I was born on Madame Curie's birthday. I have this need for originals, for innovation. That's why I like Charlie Parker.
I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.
The best thing about Mick Jagger is how uncalculating he is. He does what he wants to do and it feels right. He's not a dancer - neither am I.
