Much to the shock of many, Sir Mick Jagger limits his fun.

The 66-year-old Rolling Stones singer, renowned for his hell raising behavior in his youth, makes sure that he gets the balance between work and enjoyment right in his life, but still indulges his wild side on occasions: “You can’t give into temptation all your life, otherwise you’d have no through line; you’d never get anything finished. But it’s absolutely no fun at all unless you give into temptation some of your life. If you never do, you’re really boring and dull.”

Jagger, who has seven children by four different women, also says that spending a lot of time in hotels has given him the inspiration to make his homes colorful and exciting.

He added to British Vogue: “Hotel life has influenced my decorative tastes quite negatively. Because you say, ‘Right, I don’t want any brown or beige.’ Because most hotels go in for neutral colors—they don’t want to offend anybody.”
