Jagger Quotes
How I wanna be exciting is by hitting a great note and people going, "Whoo!" I'm more Tony Bennett. He sings notes that don't exist! The hooter, the hair, the man's like a chiseled Roman god. With the Bunnymen, I was much more Mick Jagger holdin' me willy on stage and wearin' no undies and all that. Now I'm more Cary Grant.

Keepe pursed his lips, nodded. "We're already in a very strong position in this country, of course. We've taken over all of the antigovernment militias, most of the religious groups who think of themselves as conservative, plus what's left of the KKK and the American Nazi party, but they're only pocket change.

We've been managing the press for over twenty years now, and the public is accustomed to our view of the world.”

It's no accident that so many fabled rock ensembles have had two contrasting leaders (Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Plant and Page, Bono and The Edge) to play off each other and cross-pollinate and, at times, butt heads. But Chris Martin completely dominates Coldplay; there's no yin to his smiley enraptured yang. He's the rock-king superstar the other band members all worship, humbly, as the genius who made their fates possible, and almost every moment of the band's creative energy is organized around what Chris is going to do next: the piano chords he's playing around with, the lyrics he's writing, his endless studio perfectionism. source.
