I occasionally borrow pot from my kids. They do a little weed occasionally. ‘Here, Dad’ – or more likely, ‘Dad, have you got any?’

Keith Richards

If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they’re asleep.
KEITH RICHARDS

Missing Sleep Song Stay Yourself
Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you’re a grownup, but it’s not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak.

But I’ve always felt very comfortable on stage, even if I screw up. It always felt like a dog, this is my turf, piss around it. While I’m here, nothing else can happen. All I can do is screw up. Otherwise, have a good time.

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.

We age not by holding on to youth, but by letting ourselves grow and embracing whatever youthful parts remain.

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.

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