More quotes by Robbie Robertson
It would be nice to abandon the verse-chorus-bridge structure completely, and make it so none of these things are definable...Make up new names for them. Instead of a bridge, you can call it a highway, or an overpass...Music should never be harmless.
Robbie Robertson
Working on 'The Last Waltz' introduced me to Martin Scorsese, and I had been a movie bug since I was a young kid.

Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson
I'd always thought Cage's 'Root of an Unfocus' would be great in a movie.
Robbie Robertson
I play guitar quite a bit, because I'm always in search of something. I don't play to jam, but because I'm fishing. I'm looking for something, that I hope you can never find. If I do find it, I'm afraid I won't have a need to do this any more.
Robbie Robertson
It's a bit of a sore spot, the Thanksgiving in Indian country.
Robbie Robertson
Record making is an extraordinary experience.
Robbie Robertson
I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.
Robbie Robertson
Some people love some music, and they hear it a year later and they think, 'What was I thinking?'
