More quotes by Keith Richards
To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.
Keith Richards
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards
True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
Keith Richards
You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab
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
The public library is the great equaliser.
Keith Richards
You're always learning about this thing everytime you pick it up
Keith Richards
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
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
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards
George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
Keith Richards
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
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
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
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
I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.
Keith Richards
