More quotes by Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
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
I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
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
If you say I'm great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.

Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
Keith Richards
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.'
Keith Richards
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.
Keith Richards
You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
Keith Richards
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
