More quotes by 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
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards
The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards
Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
Keith Richards
There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards
I consider my job [being a musician] is to have a little idea and nurture it and put it in some form that everybody else can understand and then sort of pass it on. It's really a passing through. In other words, you receive and you transmit.
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
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
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.
Keith Richards
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
Keith Richards
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
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
If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.
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 say I'm great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?
Keith Richards
