Keith Richards
Image
I'm not getting old I'm evolving.
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?
Keith Richards
Image
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
Keith Richards
Image
I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
Keith Richards
Image
Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.
Keith Richards
Image
Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.
Keith Richards
Image
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal
Keith Richards
Image
I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
