“They take the mick, with Elton John and things like that.”
James Lomas
“Mick Jagger is about as sexy as a pissing toad.”
Truman Capote
“Mick and John are happy with me writing songs for the band at this particular point in time. I don't know what's going to happen down the road a couple of years.”
Christine McVie
“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
“He [Mick Jagger] moves like a parody between a majorette girl and Fred Astaire.”
“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
“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'.”
