At 82, Mick Jagger reflects on whether fame ever lets the world see the real him—examining the multiple characters he inhabits onstage, in interviews, and in songwriting. The Rolling Stones' frontman discusses the new album Foreign Tongues, aging, audience connection, and six decades of performing. Jagger views songwriting as imagination mixed with personal experience, using fictional characters to explore emotions—like the humorous 'Mr. Charm' or heartfelt rejection songs—rather than direct autobiography.
