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

If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
Image
[joking about the length of the Rolling Stones' career] You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe - and you have the Rolling Stones!
Keith Richards

I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
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!

Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

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

The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards

To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.

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

Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards

I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I'll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It's a little embarrassing to admit it I'm an old man now. It's important to me though.

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

Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
