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.'

More quotes by Keith Richards
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've got the sun, you've got the moon, and you've got the Rolling Stones.
Keith Richards
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
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
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.
Keith Richards
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
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
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
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.
Keith Richards
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
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
Keith Richards
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
Keith Richards
Rap - so many words, so little said.
Keith Richards
This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.
Keith Richards
There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.
Keith Richards
True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
