I loved it and I hated it. The more successful the Stones became the more seriously they took themselves."<br /><br />"[Why I left will] be in my book. It certainly wasn't because I didn't like the rest of the band, or had a huge falling out, or anything like that. It's much more personal than that."<br /><br />While he is planning a personal memoir, Mick - who was joined in the group by Sir Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and the late Ian Stewart - insists he will avoid the kind of salacious anecdotes featured in Keith's recent autobiography, 'Life'.<br /><br />Speaking at the 'Boogie for Stu' concert held in memory of Ian at the Ambassador's theatre in London last night (09.03.11), Mick said: "I jot down my memories all the time and have done for years in case I ever lose my mind.<br /><br />"I don't want to write the kind of book that will shock people, about the scandals, sex, drugs and rock and roll because Keith's done that with his book. <br /><br />"It's a hard book to write. My time will come but it's not yet."</div>
