More quotes by Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards
Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
Keith Richards
I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I'll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It's a little embarrassing to admit it I'm an old man now. It's important to me though.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
Treat each guitar track-and each song-completely different. For example, if I'm using a certain amp and guitar on one track, I'll deliberately use something else for the next tune or overdub.
Keith Richards
You're always learning about this thing everytime you pick it up
Keith Richards
Rap - so many words, so little said.
Keith Richards
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
Keith Richards
If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.
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.
