Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.
Keith Richards
Image
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

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

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.

You get onstage and make other people feel happy. Make them feel good.
Keith Richards
Image
I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
Keith Richards
Image
I've never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
Keith Richards
Image
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
Image
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
Image
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
Keith Richards
Image
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
Image
Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?
Keith Richards
Image
I don't regret nuthin.
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?
