I am a big fan of the Impressionists, and in my school days, I was inspired by Caravaggio, Velazquez and Rembrandt.

I can't be left unsupervised.

Let's face it: I paint well. I know it, you know it. There's no arguing really, is there?

People often get the wrong impression of Mick. The clever businessman is just one side of Mick. The other side is the same as the rest of us, a true rocker!

I have a lot of growing up to do. But I think, 'Hell, is it too late?'

When I'm left on my own I'm my own worst enemy.

When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I'm being taken seriously. I've got highfalutin art collectors and everything!

Having loved the Stones all the time I was growing up, I wasn't about to see them go and split up. It got very close to it in the 80s, when Mick thought that Keith hated him and vice versa.

All of us can't wait to get out there whatever way.

Mick has expressed an interest in coming to the gallery tonight because he's seen me behaving myself lately. He is being much more supportive, which is nice.

With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before.

My first career was as a coach and a teacher.

I want to build a course my mum can enjoy.

Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.

Let honor be to us as strong an obligation as necessity is to others.

There can be no society without poetry, but society can never be realized as poetry, it is never poetic. Sometimes the two terms seek to break apart. They cannot.

If you are an effective manager of your self, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will.

Inspiration comes from the act of writing.

By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.

I have never been able to understand why pigeon-shooting at Hurlingham should be refined and polite, while a rat-killing match in Whitechapel is low.
