More quotes by Chrissie Hynde
I was a single mom with two kids. What else was I going to do? It was either be in a band or be a waitress.
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
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
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.
Chrissie Hynde
I feel displaced when I'm back in America, like a visitor. I feel like if I don't get a cup of tea I'm going to lose my mind.
Chrissie Hynde
The only person stopping you from doing something is yourself, and looking for excuses all the time just gets in the way of obtaining your own goals. It's like the writer who keeps getting up and straightening the pictures in the room.
Chrissie Hynde
There'sthemeat eaters and there'sus. And that'stheway I look at the world.
Chrissie Hynde
Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.
Chrissie Hynde
It's my tough luck if things happen that are complicated.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.
