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
Image
The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.

If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.

[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
