Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.
Keith Richards
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
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
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards
If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.
Keith Richards
You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
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.

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
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
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
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
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
There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards
You're always learning about this thing everytime you pick it up
Keith Richards
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
