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

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards

What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.
Keith Richards
Image
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
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.

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
Keith Richards
Image
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards

Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor.
Keith Richards
Image
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
Image
I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
Keith Richards
Image
The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.
Keith Richards
Image
I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.
Keith Richards
Image
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
Image
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
Image
I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.
