More quotes by Keith Richards
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
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
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
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
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
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
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 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
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
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
Keith Richards
Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
Keith Richards
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards
I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards
Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.
Keith Richards
