More quotes by Keith Richards
Some things get better with age. Like me.
Keith Richards
I haven't stopped smoking...anything
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you're a grownup, but it's not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak.
Keith Richards
The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.
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
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.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards
I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.
Keith Richards
I consider my job [being a musician] is to have a little idea and nurture it and put it in some form that everybody else can understand and then sort of pass it on. It's really a passing through. In other words, you receive and you transmit.
Keith Richards
[joking about the length of the Rolling Stones' career] You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe - and you have the Rolling Stones!
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
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.
Keith Richards
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
Keith Richards
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
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
Keith Richards
