“Mick felt a bit of tightness warming up for last week's game, and he was still feeling it yesterday. He hasn't bowled yet, so I would say there is still some doubt over him.”
Martyn Moxon
“Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.”
Truman Capote
“I didn't know Mick very well, but I didn't like him. He made me feel really uncomfortable, so I didn't run in their circles. He's one of those people that stared at you at all times.”
Cathy Craft
“He [Mick Jagger] moves like a parody between a majorette girl and Fred Astaire.”
“You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.”
Mick Jagger
“When I first met Mick he wore jeans and those Seventies ribbed, tight T-shirts, and I absolutely loved that look. Nobody looks better in jeans than Mick because he's got this amazing body with a very slim, long waist and a bit V-shaped chest and I thought that was just the cutest. That's when I fell in love with him. Then in the Eighties he started wearing trousers and badly cut tweed suits, big shirts in orange and brown. Ugh! Clothes that he wore for about 20 years. But now he's started wearing jeans again and he looks great – I saw him the other day and I thought, 'thank God'.”
Jerry Hall
“Mick has to get up in the morning with a plan. Who he's going to call, what he's going to eat, where he's going to go. Me, I wake up, praise the Lord, then make sure all the phones are turned off. If we were a mum-and-pop operation, then he'd be Mum.”
Keith Richards
