[about Elvis Presley ] He was a unique artist... an original in an area of imitators.



[on Bo Diddley ] He was a wonderful, original musician who was an enormous force in music and was a big influence on The Rolling Stones . He was very generous to us in our early years and we learned a lot from him. We will never see his like again.

[in 1980, explaining why the Stones removed the song "Claudine" (about Claudine Longet's murder trial) from the Emotional Rescue album after her lawyers threatened to sue] We've done things that we can't use because they're too close to the knuckle as far as people are concerned. I don't mind being sued - there's always 2 or 3 lawsuits currently running against someone with more than $50,000 to their name - but I don't want to put out a million albums and then have to withdraw them...





[on Hubert Sumlin ] Hubert was an incisive yet delicate blues player. He had a really distinctive and original tone and was a wonderful foil for Howlin' Wolf's growling vocal style ... He was an inspiration to us all.



[commenting in 1985 on The Smiths album "Meat Is Murder" going to number one in the UK] I'm not sure I wanna hear a whole album about meat.

Solomon Burke had such a great voice...powerful but in total control. It oozed soul. The great man had a wonderful sense of phrasing and dynamics born out of the church and gospel experience. We loved that and he was a huge influence on all of us, but especially myself in those early formative years.
