I don't regret nuthin.

It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
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.

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
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.

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

Rap - so many words, so little said.
Keith Richards

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.
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.

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