Keith Richards Quotes

• [on Sergeant Pepper] The Beatles sounded great when they were The Beatles. But there’s not a lot of roots in that music. I think they got carried away.
• The Beatles, those chicks wore those guys out. They stopped touring in 1966 – they were done already. They were ready to go to India and shit.
• [on painter/director Donald Cammell in his biography “Life”] I wrote “Gimme Shelter” on a stormy day, sitting in Robert Fraser’s apartment in Mount Street. Anita [Anita Pallenberg] was shooting Performance (1970) at the time, not far away, but I ain’t going down to the set. God knows what’s happening. As a minor part of the plot, Spanish Tony was trying to steal the Beretta they were using as a prop off the set. But I didn’t go down there, because I really didn’t like Donald Cammell, the director, a twister and a manipulator whose only real love in life was *beep* other people up. I wanted to distance myself from the relationship between Anita and Donald. Donald was a decadent dependent of the Cammell shipyard family, very good-looking, a razor-sharp mind poisoned with vitriol. He’d been a painter in New York, but something drove him mad about other clever and talented people–he wanted to destroy them. He was the most destructive little turd I’ve ever met. Also a Svengali, utterly predatory, a very successful manipulator of women, and he must have fascinated many of them. He would sometimes take the piss out of Mick [Mick Jagger] for his Kentish accent and sometimes me, Dartford yokel. I don’t mind a good put-down now and again; I come up with a few. But putting people down was almost an addiction for him. Everybody had to be put in their place. Anything you did in front of Cammell was up for his ridicule. He had a fairly developed sense of inferiority in there somewhere. (…) Donald Cammell was more interested in manipulation than actually directing. He got a hard-on about intimate betrayal, and that’s what he was setting up in Performance, as much of it as he could engineer. (…) I met Cammell later in LA, and I said, you know, I can’t think of anybody, Donald, that’s ever got any joy out of you, and I don’t know if you’ve ever got any joy out of yourself. There’s nowhere else for you to go, there’s nobody. The best thing you can do is take the gentleman’s way out. And this was at least two or three years before he finally topped himself.
• If you say I’m great, thank you very much. But I know what I am. I could be better, man, you know?
• [on Johnny Depp’s visits to his home] It took me two years before I realized who he was. He was just one of my son Marlon’s mates, hanging around the house playing guitar. I never ask Marlon’s mates who they are because, you know, ‘I’m a dope dealer’. Then one day I was at dinner and I’m like ‘woah, Scissorhands.’
• I’m a Sagittarius, half-man, half-horse with a license to shit in the street.
• I never thought I was wasted, but I probably was.
• The truth is, I’m more interested in the roll than I am in the rock.
• Gram Parsons could get better coke than the mafia.
• [on the death of original Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones] Although it was a shock when it actually happened, nobody was really that surprised, you know. I’m sure everybody’s got a feeling about certain people… everybody knows people that – you just have that feeling about them, they’re not going to be 70 years old, ever. Not everybody makes it.
• If you’re going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.
• Cold turkey is not so bad after you’ve done it ten or twelve times.
• [to then-girlfriend Anita Pallenberg just before being arrested for possession of heroin and cocaine in Toronto 1977] See you in seven years.
• [joking about the length of the Rolling Stones’ career] You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe – and you have the Rolling Stones!
• [on news that The Rolling Stones had earned £1.23 billion since 1989] You don’t start to play your guitar thinking you’re going to be running an organisation that will maybe generate millions.
