Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards

You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
Image
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.

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!

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
Keith Richards
Image
I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I'll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It's a little embarrassing to admit it I'm an old man now. It's important to me though.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.

What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards
Image
There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
Image
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
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.
Keith Richards
Image
Songwriting's a weird game.
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.

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