When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)

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!

Keith Richards
Image
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.

If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
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
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
Image
Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

When you're supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill.
Keith Richards
Image
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
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.

Songwriting's a weird game.

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