religious thinking people
I'm very ambivalent in my feelings about marriage. I think it promises a lot to people - sort of like saying, once you get married you are on the highway to heaven, and quite often it isn't that. I think marriage has always been based on a combination of religious and legal reasons.
talking giving people
There is something I like about talking to journalists that really goes beyond promotion because you aren't just talking to the journalist, but you are talking through them to people who presumably are fans of the Rolling Stones. The interviews give you a chance to say a few things and maybe clear up some of the things people read about the band.
thinking style mixing
That's one of the good things about a lot of the young British bands, they are mixing all styles of music. I think that's very good because that's very modern.
hate should-have white
I would hate to say as a non-African-American person that it would be wrong for a black person to direct white people in a movie. Wouldn't that be awful of me to say that? The only sympathizing thing I might say for people that want to [grumble] is that a filmmaker should have an understanding for the place where the people you're portraying are coming from.
thinking people drug
I think that people taking drugs occasionally are great. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But if you do it the whole time, you don't produce as good things as you could.
people drug helping
I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.
white people suggestions
Samba rhythm is a great one to sing on, but it's also got some other suggestions in it, an undercurrent of being primitive - because it is a primitive African, South American, Afro-whatever-you-call-that rhythm. So to white people, it has a very sinister thing about it.
england culture pretentious
In England you're skewered on the altar of pop culture if you become pretentious.
air creative feelings
I wasn't taking so many drugs that it was messing up my creative processes. It was a very good period, 1968 - there was a good feeling in the air. It was a very creative period for everyone.
taken marijuana years
Thousands of years people have taken drugs, whether it's alcohol, which was invented about 5,000 years ago. People have been using that. And all kinds of marijuana and all these things, tobacco. So all these drugs have been - it seems to be the propensity of human beings to want to use them.
drunk people personality
People have different personalities when they're drunk or take heroin, or whatever drugs.
nice too-much stealing
It's nice to collect stamps, but if it becomes obsessive, and you start stealing for your stamps, it becomes too much.
singers attention band
If you're the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.
musician wells one-thing
Always as a musician you must have one thing you do well.
