Quote

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.

You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.

One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab
Keith Richards
Image
About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.

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.

You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
