I'm the eldest at 51, and if the Stones can drag themselves around once more, then there's a few more albums in us.

- Barry Gibb

I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.

- Catherine McCormack

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, these are just some of the people who threatened to sue if we used their songs.

- Colin Mochrie

The first session I did with the Stones was an accident. I just happened to be wandering down the hallway of the same studio.

- Bobby Keys

It's pretty scripted on the road: very organised and compartmentalised, and that's the way it has to be with so many people involved in a Stones tour.

- Bobby Keys

The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.

- Bill Wyman

I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.

- Bill Wyman

Everything had to be done in-between Stones time.

- Bill Wyman

I got to play on a couple of records with the Rolling Stones, and that was really special to me.

- Benmont Tench

When I hit 11 so did the careers of Dylan and the Stones. A year later it was the Who and the Kinks.

- Bob Geldof

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

- Albert Einstein

You know, Rolling Stones songs all sound kind of the same.

- Brian Wilson

I was so busy with my studies that I didn't have a musical idol as a teenager. Later, around my 20s, I suddenly discovered the Beatles and the Rolling Stones but I guess my musical idol has always been Strauss.

- Andre Rieu

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

- Annie Leibovitz

I'd rather break stones on the king's highway than hem a handkerchief.

- Anne Sullivan

I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.

- Andy Goldsworthy

The early firings contained many stones.

- Andy Goldsworthy

I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful.

- Andy Goldsworthy

There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.

- Amelia Earhart

It's like this - these five members have been influenced of course by other groups, because that's where this generation's groups came from - an environment like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and The Who. People like that.

- Alice Cooper
