Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
Keith Richards
Image
There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards

[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards

I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.

Keith Richards
Image
[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

There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards
Image
The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.
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.

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.
Keith Richards

Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards

To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
