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

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.

This is the rock ‘n’ roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.

I was in awe sometimes listening to Mick Taylor . Everything was there in his playing – the melodic touch, a beautiful sustain and a way of reading a song.

If you say I’m great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?

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.

What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It’s the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: ‘He passed it on.’

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

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

It’s one thing to play a Muddy Waters song. It’s another thing to play with him.

Himself Play
I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I’ll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It’s a little embarrassing to admit it; I’m an old man now. It’s important to me though.

I’ve never turned blue in someone else’s bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.

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

I personally believe that most people that play an instrument would be able to write a few songs here and there. But they say, “I tried, I can’t do it” and give up and don’t try it again; they get too discouraged.

Encouragement Give Up Instrument People Play Try Writing
Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed.

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