Rolling Stones Quotes:
Of course, I do occasionally arouse primeval instincts, but I mean, most men can do that. They can't do it to so many. I just happen to be able to do it to several thousand people. It's fun to do that.
-- Mick Jagger

At the moment I have no time for acting, but when it's all over, I think I'd like to go to drama school. I rather go for the contemporaries like the John Cassavetes film Shadows; there was no script, the whole thing was ad-libbed.
-- Mick Jagger

Basically the thing at the time you used to just try and find girls that would @#$%&. The rest of it was just..yer know. I mean , it wasn't quite as easy then as it is now. Since the invention of the pill, its become much easier. [Mike Jagger]"

"If you're gonna be in a band, you can't sit in the studio the whole time... I'd like to do more of the only thing I can do really well, apart from screwing.[Richards]"

""It's liberty for all, democracy's our style, unless you are against us, then it's prison without trial."
