If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
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
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
Image
You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Keith Richards
Image
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.

From the 12th Congressional District Hopeful William Jefferson Clinton during the Nixon investigations. I wanted to share some information I've turned up regarding two of your Clinton quotes.

I wouldn't warm to [Chuck Berry] even if I was cremated next to him.
Keith Richards
Image
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards
Image
The big rules of knife fighting are (a) do not try it at home, and (b) the whole point is never, ever use the blade. It is there to distract your opponent. While he stares at the gleaming steel, you kick his balls to kingdom come--he's all yours. Just a tip!
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards
Image
I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.
Keith Richards
Image
Everyone talks about rock these days the problem is they forget about the roll.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
