No broken hearts, no broken necks.

Keith Richards

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.

Everybody’s got a different way of telling a story – and has different stories to tell.
KEITH RICHARDS

Different Story Talk Way
Why would you want to be anything else if you’re Mick Jagger?
KEITH RICHARDS

Change Fame Identity Yourself
Fame has killed more very talented guys than drugs. Jimi Hendrix didn’t die of an overdose, he died of fame.
KEITH RICHARDS

Death Fame Kill Talent
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.

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

Himself Play
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.
KEITH RICHARDS

Comfortable Feeling Myself Time
Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
KEITH RICHARDS

Death Old Young
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

Children Father Occasion Yourself
Love has sold more songs than you’ve had hot dinners.

Food Love Song Yourself
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.
KEITH RICHARDS

Influence Listening Myself Thinking Work
Retire? I can’t spell the word. I’d play in a wheelchair.
KEITH RICHARDS

Myself Play Retirement Spell Word
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.

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

Missing Sleep Song Stay Yourself
I look for ambiguity when I’m writing because life is ambiguous.
KEITH RICHARDS

Life Myself Writing
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.
