A Quote by Keith Richards

Why would you want to be anything else if you're Mick Jagger? — © Keith Richards
Why would you want to be anything else if you're Mick Jagger?
They want to hold onto something they never had in the first place. Anybody who claims to have some interest in me as an individual artist or even as part of the Beatles has absolutely misunderstood everything I ever said if they can't see why I'm with Yoko. And if they can't see that, they don't see anything. They're just jacking off to - it could be anybody. Mick Jagger or somebody else. Let them go jack off to Mick Jagger, okay? I don't need it.
I didn't appreciate Mick Jagger until I got older, and mainly because of the Mick Jagger swagger. He defined that for the world. He was bold and adventurous with it, too - just the ultimate rock star.
Mick Jagger can sing. Mick Jagger is a great entertainer.
Mick Jagger has produced some great films and brought us stories about the music industry that have changed the way we think about how music is made. I never thought I would actually call him my boss, let alone meet Mick Jagger or have any reason to say my name in the same sentence as his.
Never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything.
I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.
Never would I have thought that I would meet Mick Jagger, much less be working on the same project.
I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
I would say Mick Jagger plus Mr. Furley equals Howard Wolowitz.
They asked me to sing - actually, it was Dee Dee, because he had seen me in Sniper and thought I wasn't like anybody else. Everybody else was doing an Iggy or a Mick Jagger.
Mick Jagger is 70 and still singing 'Satisfaction' every concert. That would drive me insane.
I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.
We cannot burn Mick Jagger. We want the effect, but we can't burn him.
I go where I'm stimulated. If I'm stimulated, I show up. As Mick Jagger sings: It's my life and I'll do what I want.
It's insane that, since the Beatles and Dylan, it's assumed that all musicians should do everything themselves. It's that ridiculous, teenage idea that when Mick Jagger sings, he's telling you something about his own life. It's so arrogant to think that people would want to know about it anyway!
I didn't even like Mick Jagger.
