Keith Richards on life between Stones tours (2002):
“I made a determined effort after the last tour to get up with the family. Which for me is a pretty impressive goal. But I did it – I’d get up at seven in the morning. After a few months, I was allowed to drive the kids to school… I read a lot. I might have a little sail around Long Island Sound if the weather is all right. I do a lot of recording in my basement – writing songs, keeping up to speed. I have no fixed routine. I wander about the house, wait for the maids to clean the kitchen, the fuck it all up again and do some frying. Patti and I go out once a week, if there’s something on in town – take the old lady out for dinner with a bunch of flowers, get the rewards.”
