More quotes by Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
To me, it's important to prove that this isn't just teenage kids' s**t and you should feel embarrassed when you're over forty and still doing it.
Keith Richards
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards
Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
Keith Richards
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
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
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
When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don't think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn't have that much to do with it.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting.
Keith Richards
It's good to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards
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
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
Keith Richards
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
