More quotes by Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards

Keith Richards
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.
Keith Richards
I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards
You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
