Image
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
Keith Richards
Image
I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.
Keith Richards
Image
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
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
Image
I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.
Keith Richards
Image
My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.
Keith Richards
Image
To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
Keith Richards
Image
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
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
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.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
Keith Richards
Image
Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
Image
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
Image
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.
Keith Richards
Image
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
Keith Richards
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!

There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.

Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.
