More quotes by Keith Richards
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
When you're supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill.
Keith Richards
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
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
I consider my job [being a musician] is to have a little idea and nurture it and put it in some form that everybody else can understand and then sort of pass it on. It's really a passing through. In other words, you receive and you transmit.
Keith Richards
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
Keith Richards
Treat each guitar track-and each song-completely different. For example, if I'm using a certain amp and guitar on one track, I'll deliberately use something else for the next tune or overdub.
Keith Richards
If you say I'm great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?
Keith Richards
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
You're always learning about this thing everytime you pick it up
Keith Richards
I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
Keith Richards
The big rules of knife fighting are (a) do not try it at home, and (b) the whole point is never, ever use the blade. It is there to distract your opponent. While he stares at the gleaming steel, you kick his balls to kingdom come--he's all yours. Just a tip!
Keith Richards
