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.

Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal

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.

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.
Keith Richards
Image
About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.

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

Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

[joking about the length of the Rolling Stones' career] You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe - and you have the Rolling Stones!

Some of my most outrageous nights- I can only believe actually happened because of corroborating evidence. No wonder I'm famous for partying! The ultimate party- if it's any good- you can't remember it.
