“The guy thought he was Mick Jagger. I felt bad for him.”
“Some guy said to me: Don't you think you're too old to sing rock n' roll?I said: You'd better check with Mick Jagger.”
“When he was 19, Mick Jagger said, "what a drag it is getting old... (Mother's little Helper)”
“Be the Mick Jagger of themailroom, the Warren Buffetof bookkeeping and the Bonoof stapler selling.”
“Why would you want to be anything else if you're Mick Jagger?”
“Mick Jagger once boasted that 'I’d rather be dead than still singing ‘Satisfaction’ when I’m forty-five.' But now he’s over sixty and still singing 'Satisfaction'. Some people might find this funny, but not me. When he was young, Mick Jagger couldn’t imagine himself at forty-five. When I was young, I was the same. Can I laugh at Mick Jagger? No way. I just happen not to be a young rock singer. Nobody remembers what stupid things I might have said back then, so they’re not about to quote them back at me. That’s the only difference.”
