If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
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.

Image
There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.

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
Image
My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
Image
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards
Image
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

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