More quotes by Keith Richards
You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
Keith Richards
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
Keith Richards
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
The big rules of knife fighting are (a) do not try it at home, and (b) the whole point is never, ever use the blade. It is there to distract your opponent. While he stares at the gleaming steel, you kick his balls to kingdom come--he's all yours. Just a tip!
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don't think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn't have that much to do with it.

My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
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
Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.
Keith Richards
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
Art is the last thing I'm worried about when I'm writing a song. As far as I'm concerned, art is just short for 'Arthur.'
Keith Richards
Songwriting's a weird game.
Keith Richards
Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
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
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
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
