It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
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

You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
Keith Richards

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
Image
But I'm not here just to make records and money. I'm here to say something and to touch other people, sometimes in a cry of desperation: Do you know this feeling?
Keith Richards

I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards

About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.

To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
Keith Richards
Image
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
Image
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards
Image
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
Image
Some of my most outrageous nights- I can only believe actually happened because of corroborating evidence. No wonder I'm famous for partying! The ultimate party- if it's any good- you can't remember it.
Keith Richards
Image
This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.
Keith Richards
Image
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
Image
One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab
Keith Richards
Image
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
Keith Richards
Image
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
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.

You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
