If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
Image
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
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.

Image
The big rules of knife fighting are (a) do not try it at home, and (b) the whole point is never, ever use the blade. It is there to distract your opponent. While he stares at the gleaming steel, you kick his balls to kingdom come--he's all yours. Just a tip!
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
Image
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.

To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.

I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.
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

It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
Keith Richards
Image
I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.
Keith Richards
Image
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
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.'
Keith Richards

George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
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.

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

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

The Beatles were basically a vocal band.

When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don't think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn't have that much to do with it.
