Keith Richards

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.

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other

Some things get better with age. Like me.

To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.

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

Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.

To me, it's important to prove that this isn't just teenage kids' s**t and you should feel embarrassed when you're over forty and still doing it.

Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.
