More quotes by Keith Richards

Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
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
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards
Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
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
If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.
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
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
