Keith Richards on songs (1977):
“People think you’re a songwriter, they think you wrote it, it’s all yours, you are totally responsible for it. Really, you’re just a medium, you just develop a facility for recognising and picking up things and you just have to be ready to be there, like being at a seance; they just plop out of the air. Whole songs just come to you, you don’t write it. Songs come to me en masse, I didn’t do anything except to happen to have been awake when it arrived.”
