I don't know if people in New York recognize me or not. I'm not really conscious of it. If somebody stops me, then I suddenly realize that people are looking at me, but other times they may be doing it and I don't even know because I'm engrossed in something else.

If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.

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

I haven't stopped smoking...anything

The Beatles were basically a vocal band.

It made me sick - my name's Keith Richards. It hardly makes it against Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters, does it? On my first guitar I had Boy Blue written - just pathetic. But that was as good as I got at the time.

If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.
