I Shot a Man in Reno Quotes

“The fact is, such an undertaking [an album that reveals a little more of the artist's core insecurities and the reality of the aging process] wouldn't be an honest reflection of Jagger's life: he still goes clubbing, he still jet-sets, he still has a keen and active interest in the opposite sex, ha can still prance around stage for two hours a night without requiring hospitalization. He is not your average 65-year-old.”

“Artistic careers seem to attract a disproportionately high ratio of people with dysfunctional backgrounds, odd upbringings, multiple hang-ups, and exotic emotional deficiencies. In other words, they have plenty to get off their chests, and ever since they weregiven/took the opportunity to do so they certainly haven't shirked from the task.”
