“To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.”

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.

I’m not getting old I’m evolving.

Women are a beautiful complication, and I look forward to far more beauties and far more complications.

What is life but playing with time?

It’s one thing to play a Muddy Waters song. It’s another thing to play with him.

We all have our own personal laboratories. Life is an experiment, and it’s just a matter of getting the alchemical or chemical combination right.

If you’re going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.

I’m all for a quiet life. I just didn’t get one.

One minute I’m standing at Ronnie Scott’s getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I’m on a marble slab

It’s a privilege just to wake up to a new day.

It might appear that nothing is happening, but that’s actually when it really happens.

My life is full of broken halos.

There’s a demon in me, and he’s still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.

I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he’s gonna do tomorrow and I’m just happy to wake up to see who’s hanging around. Mick’s rock and I’m roll.

Why would you want to be anything else if you’re Mick Jagger?

I was number 1 on the who’s likely to die list for 10 years. I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.

The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.

I am a canvas, that I design with colors of identity to madness filled masterpiece of worthiness.

An artist paints so much than his canvas.

A blank canvas is still better than a ruined painting.

Perception is the paintbrush. The reality, the canvas. You are the artist. Create purposefully.

Painting will bring a lot of good thoughts to your heart.

I put on the canvas whatever comes into my mind.

I am the first to be surprised and often terrified by the images that I see appear on my canvas.
