More quotes by Andy Partridge

Andy Partridge

Andy Partridge
I've always liked the idea of improvised music. Improvised anything. It's what conversation is.
Andy Partridge
It was in San Diego and I was onstage and couldn't remember how to play the guitar properly. I was in terrible pain and my nervous system was just going wild, like somebody had just run a car over me.
Andy Partridge
I felt pressured by continuous touring.
Andy Partridge
You may leave school, but it never leaves you.
Andy Partridge
I believe the printed word is more than sacred Beyond the gauge of good or bad The human right to let your soul fly free and naked Above the violence of the fearful and sad
Andy Partridge
Success is being nothing but a quote.
Andy Partridge
My parents, especially my mother, were no influence on me whatsoever.
