More quotes by 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
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.
Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don't think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn't have that much to do with it.
Keith Richards
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
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?
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.
Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.
Keith Richards
My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.
Keith Richards
Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.
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
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
Keith Richards
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
