More quotes by 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
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.
Keith Richards
The public library is the great equaliser.
Keith Richards
To me, it's important to prove that this isn't just teenage kids' s**t and you should feel embarrassed when you're over forty and still doing it.
Keith Richards
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
Keith Richards
This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.
Keith Richards
I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.
Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
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
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
[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!
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
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
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
About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.
Keith Richards
