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
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you're a grownup, but it's not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak.
Keith Richards
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards

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
The public library is the great equaliser.
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
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards
You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
Keith Richards
You don't find a style. A style finds you
Keith Richards
I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
Keith Richards
I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.
Keith Richards
