Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.

There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.

I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
Keith Richards
Image
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
Image
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
Image
To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.

[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

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