In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. They're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. There's nothing, no recognition. You're waving, “It's me, your father,” but you're invisible. You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody because they don't see you. That's hell.
Keith RichardsThere's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.
Keith RichardsWhat'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.
Keith RichardsThe 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.
