But I'm not here just to make records and money. I'm here to say something and to touch other people, sometimes in a cry of desperation: Do you know this feeling?

More quotes by 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
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
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
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
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
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.
Keith Richards
There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.
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
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 no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards
From the 12th Congressional District Hopeful William Jefferson Clinton during the Nixon investigations. I wanted to share some information I've turned up regarding two of your Clinton quotes.
Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
The public library is the great equaliser.
Keith Richards
You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
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
