Keith Richards Quotes
“If you’re going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet.”

“I look for ambiguity when I’m writing because life is ambiguous.”

“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.”

“I’ve always been suspicious of TV, I’ve always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.”

“If you don’t know the blues...  there’s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.”

“Rock and Roll: Music for the neck downwards.”

“The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.”

“To make a rock’n’roll record, technology is the least important thing.”

“There’s no substitute for live work to keep a band together.”

“To me, as long as we’ve known each other, I’ve always thought Mick’s most brilliant thing was that he could work in an area two foot square and give a very exciting performance.”

“When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don’t think it either enhanced or impaired me.  It didn’t have that much to do with it.”

“Everyone talks about rock these days; the problem is they forget about the roll.”

“Hey, we just enjoy it.  I think we think we’re getting the hang of this thing, you know?”

“I have no idea what the audience makes of me.”

“I never thought I was wasted, but I probably was.”

“I only get ill when I give up drugs.”

“I’ve never had a problem with drugs.  I’ve had problems with the police.”

“It’s an addiction...  and addiction is something I should know something about.”

“It’s good to be anywhere.”

“It’s great to be here.  It’s great to be anywhere.”

“Let me be clear about this.  I don’t have a drug problem.  I have a police problem.”

“The Stones in a club is still the ultimate rush.”

“You’ve got the sun, you’ve got the moon, and you’ve got the Rolling Stones.”
