More quotes by 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
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
Keith Richards
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards
I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.
Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
Keith Richards
Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor.
Keith Richards
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!
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
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
Keith Richards
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.
Keith Richards
There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.
Keith Richards
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
