I haven't stopped smoking...anything
Keith Richards

The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards

If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.

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.
Keith Richards

Rap - so many words, so little said.

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
