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

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.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

My life is full of broken halos.

I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.

I'm not getting old I'm evolving.

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

Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you're a grownup, but it's not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak.

You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.

There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting.
Keith Richards
Image
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

I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
Keith Richards
Image
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards

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!

Rap - so many words, so little said.

[joking about the length of the Rolling Stones' career] You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe - and you have the Rolling Stones!

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.

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
Image
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.

To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.
