More quotes by Keith Richards
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
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
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.
Keith Richards
Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards
Art is the last thing I'm worried about when I'm writing a song. As far as I'm concerned, art is just short for 'Arthur.'
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
I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
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
You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Keith Richards
