To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
Keith Richards
Image
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
Image
I haven't stopped smoking...anything
Keith Richards
Image
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
Keith Richards
Image
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
Image
There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.
Keith Richards
Image
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
Keith Richards
Image
Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.
Keith Richards
Image
The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!
Keith Richards
Image
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
Keith Richards
Image
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
Image
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
Image
I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.
Keith Richards
Image
You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Keith Richards
Image
I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.
Keith Richards

Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.
Keith Richards
Image
I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.
Keith Richards
Image
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards

If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.

You're always learning about this thing everytime you pick it up
