More quotes by Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards
I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards
The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.
Keith Richards
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
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
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you're a grownup, but it's not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak.
Keith Richards
You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
Keith Richards
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
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.
Keith Richards
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
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
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
