More quotes by 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 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
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
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
I think Bob Dylan's a good songwriter. I think he's the best songwriter in the world probably.
Chrissie Hynde
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
Let's face it, we do have this mating instinct that just won't quit, you know? Just when you think it's safe to come out, there it is again. You're driving down the street, and it's the last thing on your mind, and all of a sudden you're like, Oh, he looks nice, and you're up a lamppost.
Chrissie Hynde
I hope there is an edge to what I do.
Chrissie Hynde
Songwriting is like working on a jigsaw puzzle, and it doesn't make any sense until you find that last piece. It has to make sense or it doesn't work.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't really go out to clubs, but if I did, I'd just want to go rock out with my mates or whatever.
Chrissie Hynde
I'm not going to judge what I do.
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
There's this celebrity thing that goes along with making records or being a rock star. I'm into this celebrity thing just enough to let me go on making records and making a living out of it.
Chrissie Hynde
Once you stop drinking and smoking and stuff, it really gets on your nerves, all that nonsense going on.
Chrissie Hynde
I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
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
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.
Chrissie Hynde
I always thought if a guy could play the guitar, he must be something really special.
Chrissie Hynde
I don't like to be recognized on the street or in restaurants, and I don't like the whole celebrity thing.
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
