"Touching your coat, your hair, or pulling you or kissing you or whatever it is." "Just to say, "I touched so-and-so," you know." "A crowd always seems to make for violence, because if there's a center of a crowd, all the people os the periphery of the crowd are trying to get to the middle."

"Just all about things that don't really happen or don't really happen all the time." "If you listen to all popular songs 10 years ago, very few of them actually mean anything or have any relation to what people are doing." "They don't -- Songs didn't have any relation to what people actually spend their lives doing, like getting up, washing, going to work, coming back, and feeling very screwed up about certain things."

"There's a difference between acting and sort of get" "You sort of have to define acting." "I mean, you could say that people in a club dancing or people in a dance hall dancing, you could ask, "Are they acting?" 'Cause they are." "There's a difference between acting and not enjoying it and acting and just doing it the way you want to do." "It's like getting into a part." "Say you're doing a play." "You just act it or really you get inside it." "The most successful entertainers have always been the most egotistical ones onstage." "They might not be as egotistical as they are offstage, but all their ego is got rid of onstage." "What sort of person do you think you are off the stage?" "About half as egotistical."

"It's the people themselves, I think, cause any immoral effect, it turns out." "It's nothing to do with the Stones themselves as far as I'm concerned." "But the Stones themselves I think are good artists." "Better that they got all their high spirits out at the cinema watching an act." "As long as they don't damage the cinema or the Stones." "Right." "I'll second that." "Onstage, I suppose there's a sexual thing between the audience and the group." "As far as lyrics go, sex doesn't play as important part as is generally believed."
