More quotes by Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
Keith Richards
Rap - so many words, so little said.
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
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
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards
Some of my most outrageous nights- I can only believe actually happened because of corroborating evidence. No wonder I'm famous for partying! The ultimate party- if it's any good- you can't remember it.
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
True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
Keith Richards
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
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
But I'm not here just to make records and money. I'm here to say something and to touch other people, sometimes in a cry of desperation: Do you know this feeling?
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
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
Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.
Keith Richards
What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.
Keith Richards
George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
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
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
