I can't get no satisfaction.

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.

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

When we heard we were topping the bill over James Brown we couldn't believe it. We tried for two days to get it changed round - I mean you can't follow an act like that.

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time. It's like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you're wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It's the same thing with performing.... Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.

Rock & roll mostly is a very butch thing, and it appeals to one hard side of the masculine character. But I don't think the Rolling Stones are only a rock band. They can be other things. They can be very feminine.

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up.
