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?

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 178 quotes

I'd been an expert at taking beatings. Then I had a lucky break where I did a bully in, by total sheer luck. ... One minute I was the mark, and with just one swift move, I put the big man in school down. ... Once he was down, the whole atmosphere in the schoolyard changed. A huge cloud seemed to be lifted from me. ... I'd never been aware the cloud was so large.

I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.

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

When you are growing up there...

When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you.

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.

Music works in mysterious way...

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

Keith Richards 178 quotes

We all have our own personal ...

We all have our own personal laboratories. Life is an experiment, and it's just a matter of getting the alchemical or chemical combination right.

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.

Keith Richards 178 quotes

I never plan anything, which ...

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.

Anything you throw yourself into, you better get yourself out of.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

Keith Richards 178 quotes

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.

The thing about being a songwriter, once you realize you are one, is that to provide ammo, you start to become an observer. ... You're constantly on the alert. That faculty gets trained in you over the years: observing people, how they react to one another, which in a way makes you weirdly distant. ... It's a little of Peeping Tom, being a song-writer.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.

There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.

Some of my most outrageous nights- I can only believe actually happened because of corroborating evidence. No wonder I'm famous for partying! The ultimate party- if it's any good- you can't remember it.

Keith Richards 178 quotes

What is it that makes you wan...

What is it that makes you want to write songs? In a way you want to stretch yourself into other people’s hearts. You want to plant yourself there, or at least get a resonance, where other people become a bigger instrument than the one you’re playing. It becomes almost an obsession to touch other people. To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, a touching of bases. A thread that runs through all of us. A stab to the heart. Sometimes I think songwriting is about tightening the heartstrings as much as possible without bringing on a heart attack.

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.
