More quotes by Keith Richards

Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards
You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing 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
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
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
