To want what I have, to take what I'm given with grace. For this I pray...
I'm not easy to live with and I know that it's true. However, you're no picnic either, babe, and that's one of the things I liked about you.
Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true.
Remember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream.
How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self assurance that lead to happiness, they're the very things we kill.
Mick Jagger can't even make a successful solo album, and the Stones are the biggest rock group that ever was.
Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.
I'm blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn't enough.
I am an expert witness because I say I am.
The wisdom that living brings, since I got a telegram from the God of simple things.
I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
Nobody on the road. Nobody on the beach. I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.
Cause a man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun.
