I was myself so smitten in public opinion that it was the almost universal view that my political life was at last ended.

I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm 45.

It's my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album's price point is. I hope they don't underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.

No one should care if the Rolling Stones have broken up, should they? I mean, when the Beatles broke up, I couldn't give a shit. Thought it was a very good idea. Why should I live in the past just for their petty... satisfaction?

When I'm 33, I quit.
