Keith Richards
I haven't stopped smoking...anything
Keith Richards
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.
Keith Richards
The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.
Keith Richards

I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.

Keith Richards
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
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
[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
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
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 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
