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.'

I don't regret nuthin.
Keith Richards

Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.

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.

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.

You've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards

I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
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?

The public library is the great equaliser.
Keith Richards
Image
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
