Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards

Keith Richards
Image
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
Image
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
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.

Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
