Keith Richards Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

This morning on Dartford station a guy I knew at primary school came up to me. He's got every record Chuck Berry made. He is called Mick Jagger Picture Quote #1

I've never had inner turmoil about all this. You find a lot of people these days who cannot stand to be alone. You could lock me up in solitary for weeks on end, and I'd keep myself amused Picture Quote #1

Music is a language that doesn't speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it's in the bones, it's in the bones Picture Quote #1

If you say I'm great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know? Picture Quote #1

The addiction was all about looking for oblivion, for forgetting, the contortions we go through just enough to be ourselves for a few hours Picture Quote #1

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you ; you just grow into each other Picture Quote #1

A gut string classical Spanish guitar, a sweet, lovely little lady. The smell of it. Even now, to open a guitar case, when it's an old wooden guitar, I could crawl in and close the lid Picture Quote #1

We age not by holding on to youth, but by letting ourselves grow and embracing whatever youthful parts remain Picture Quote #1

And then I think we realized, like any young guys, that blues are not learned in a monastery. You've got to go out there and get your heart broke and then come back and then you can sing the blues Picture Quote #1

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen Picture Quote #1

I don't trust doctors. It's not to say there ain't some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn't trust 'em at all Picture Quote #1

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do Picture Quote #1

Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know? Picture Quote #1

If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet Picture Quote #1

Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem Picture Quote #1

I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar; I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again Picture Quote #1

I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory Picture Quote #1

I don't encourage anybody to do what I do, you know? why should you? More for me! Picture Quote #1

You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it Picture Quote #1

If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they’re asleep Picture Quote #1

If you’re cool, you don’t know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain’t Picture Quote #1

When you’re 20, you can’t imagine being 30. When you’re 30, you can’t imagine being 40. When you’re 40, you can’t imagine being 100 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet Picture Quote #1

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral Picture Quote #1

When you’re supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill Picture Quote #1

You don’t start to play your guitar thinking you’re going to be running an organisation that will maybe generate millions Picture Quote #1

Another thing to do with the blues is how they were recorded. They were done on the quick, and some of that stuff was made on wire, not even tape, let alone digital Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
