Ahead of the Stones' long-awaited headline slot at Glastonbury this weekend, Jagger told the BBC: "I'm sure everyone wishes they'd tried to have been� I'd have been a dancer, if anything.

"A schoolteacher would have been very gratifying, I'm sure. There's millions of things you would loved to have done � politician, journalist; I thought of being a journalist once."

But he says he doesn't suffer any regret. "You could think, 'Well, I would have liked to have done that,' but that's completely pointless. Everyone wants to have done more things in their lives.
