Keith Quotes

(asked by Rolling Stone if there was a "gay undercurrent" in his character Capt. Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean` films) Well, there was a great book I read . . . What was it called? "Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition". A very interesting book. I wasn`t exactly going for that with the character. And Keith is not flamboyant in his actions. Keith is pretty stealth. But with Jack, it was more that I liked the idea of being ambiguous, of taking this character and making everything a little bit . . . questionable. Because women were thought to be bad luck on ships. And these pirates would go out for years at a time. So, you know, there is a possibility that one thing might lead to another.

- Johnny Depp

We(Keith and Mick) have a very good relationship at the moment. But it`s a different relationship to what we had when we were 5 and different to what we had when we were 20 and a different relationship than when we were 30. We see each other every day, talk to each other every day, play every day. But it`s not the same as when we were 20 and shared rooms.

- Mick Jagger

Keith and I have a very complicated relationship. I don`t pretend to understand it. I find it quite tricky. He is a very inward person and he was always a very quiet and meditative type of person, so to bring out what he really wants to say is, I think, quite a problem for him sometimes. I`m a very outgoing person and very gregarious. Keith isn`t, really, although he`s learned to be somewhat more gregarious than he used to be.

- Mick Jagger

When I`m playing a song I`ll often think about how another drummer might play it, and try to be that player in my performance of the song. Often I`ll think, `How would Keith Moon play this?` And I`ll don my Keith Moon hat. For another song I`ll think about John Bonham, or even on occasion Stewart Copeland, but more often than any other drummer I think about Ringo. `That`s All,` from Genesis, is a Ringo Starr drum part. `Through These Walls,` from Hello, I Must be Going, is a Ringo drum part.

- Phil Collins

At heart I cannot accept that I am a well-known rock `n` roll star and one of the greatest drummers in the world. I can`t believe that person on the television is really me. The Keith Moon the public knows is a myth, even if I have created him. The real me is the person who sits at home having a cup of tea with his old lady, Annette. The hotel smashing is one way I get relief from the public image. I have no temper. I do it in a spirit of amusment (sic) rather than anger. When I`ve done damage to a friend`s house I come back sheepishly the next day and offer to put things right, which means I`m willing to foot the bill.

- Keith Moon

I always tell people that to be the funny person in a Steve Martin movie is like getting a call that Keith Moon wants you to play drums on his record. He should be playing drums on his record.

- Jason Schwartzman

I don`t need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I`m playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it`s all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow.

(about Southern Comfort (1981)) It was the hardest movie I ever made as far as being physical. It was cold and freezing in that swamp. (Keith Carradine) and the other ones, they wore wet suits under the clothes, I never wore one. I was miserable, but it worked for the movie. I played a local Cajun trapper. It`s the only accent I ever had to learn. I`m a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it. That one I had to study, and a real Cajun taught me how to do it. So, I did this Cajun patois, bastardized French. It was very different, it was like a southern black French.

Having loved the Stones all the time I was growing up, I wasn`t about to see them go and split up. It got very close to it in the 80s, when Mick thought that Keith hated him and vice versa.

- Ron Wood

Keith had it a little better than most kids here because he had two parents in the same household who cared about him and loved him, ... It was evident they were involved in his life.

When you work with a legend as I do, it`s wonderful. There`s so many things I`ve learned working with Keith. He`s so patient, not only with me, but with everyone in our crew and with the audience and with the game. He has a style that is so easy and will never be copied.

- Dan Fouts
