I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards

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

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

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards

I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
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 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!

The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards

Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards

You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
Keith Richards
Image
But I'm not here just to make records and money. I'm here to say something and to touch other people, sometimes in a cry of desperation: Do you know this feeling?
Keith Richards

Some things get better with age. Like me.

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.

If you say I'm great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?
Keith Richards

I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.

If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
