I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!

Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.

To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.

The public library is the great equaliser.

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
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
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.

To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.

My life is full of broken halos.

Songwriting's a weird game.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
Image
Art is the last thing I'm worried about when I'm writing a song. As far as I'm concerned, art is just short for 'Arthur.'

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.

I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
