More quotes by Keith Richards
Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
Keith Richards
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
Keith Richards
Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
Keith Richards
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
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.
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.
Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.
Keith Richards
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
From the 12th Congressional District Hopeful William Jefferson Clinton during the Nixon investigations. I wanted to share some information I've turned up regarding two of your Clinton quotes.
Keith Richards
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
