The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!

Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
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.'

My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.

When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards

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.

One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab

I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards

If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.

It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.

It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
