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

The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.
