I have no sense of patriotism, but I do have a sense of community.
Chrissie Hynde
There'sthemeat eaters and there'sus. And that'stheway I look at the world.

Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they?
Chrissie Hynde
You try to be arrogant in songs because you can't be in real life.
Chrissie Hynde
If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.
Chrissie Hynde
All these fifty-year-old guys wearing baseball caps and shorts and acting like children. It winds me up. Men don't have to take responsibility anymore. Most of the guys I know would punch me on the nose for saying this, but maybe we do have to bring back conscription.

What characterized the whole punk scene for me in 1977 was there was no racism or sexism. It was an anarchy of -isms, and a matter of abolishing it all.

Whatever I'm already doing becomes enhanced when I smoke pot. It can also be demotivating, because if I'm not doing anything and I smoke a joint, it enhances just sitting in a chair. Then I don't even want to get up to change a record. That might not be a bad thing, but you have to get things done once in a while.
Chrissie Hynde
When you're in a band and you're a girl, you know, guys just don't ... it's not the same kind of a groove as a girl walking up wearing a mac with nothing on underneath, or knocking on someone's door at three in the morning.
Chrissie Hynde
I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
Chrissie Hynde
I just want to be as regular, and get by with doing the least amount of publicity, but still look really cool, you know? And get a bit of respect.
Chrissie Hynde
Everyone has their set of problems and I'm certainly not going to sensationalize mine or try to evoke pity or sympathy out of people because I don't think they warrant that sort of thing. That's my private karma that I have to work out.
Chrissie Hynde
I'm 34 now, I like to say 35 because it makes me look better for my age, and I have to keep a little bit of a profile so that every three years if I do put a record out, I don't have to substantiate where I've been for three years and why the silence and the sort of false mysterioso.
Chrissie Hynde
Realize your own potential and try to live out your expectations of your potential.
Chrissie Hynde
Once you stop drinking and smoking and stuff, it really gets on your nerves, all that nonsense going on.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't want my children to be at a disadvantage, growing up in the limelight, because then they have to live up to an identity already cut out for them, relating all the time to being so-and-so's daughter or so-and-so's son.
Chrissie Hynde
I'm not going to judge what I do.
Chrissie Hynde
The Clash were innovative, radical and helped drive a change in music that was ground-breaking. In comparison to some of the music today they sounded like they meant it. I still listen to their music today to remind myself what music made with commitment sounds like.
