Quotes
- There's not many Americans, certainly not many of the teenagers I met when I first went to America, knew anything about [blues musicians] at all. … They do now, which is very groovy.

Lyrics
- Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away.- "Wild Horses (The Rolling Stones song)" (co-written with Keith Richards), on Sticky Fingers (1971).
- I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…- "Wild Horses" (co-written with Keith Richards), on Sticky Fingers (1971).
Quotes about Jagger
- If you think that Mick Jagger will still be doing the whole rock star thing at age fifty, well, then, you are sorely, sorely mistaken.
- Dennis Hope (Jimmy Fallon) in Almost Famous (2000).
- I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the establishment... it's not what the Stones is about, is it? I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a fucking coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, 'It's a fucking paltry honour.'
- Keith Richards, 2003, on Jagger receiving knighthood, reported in In quotes: Keith Richards, BBC (April 4, 2007).
