More quotes by Robbie Robertson
I try not to think the song to death. The main criteria is if it's working on an emotional level.
Robbie Robertson
There is an extraordinary collaborative spirit when you are learning and growing.
Robbie Robertson
Boy, do I got some stories to tell.
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
I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.
Robbie Robertson
Say a prayer for the lost generation, who spin the wheel out of desperation.
Robbie Robertson
You never know what could be interesting tomorrow.
Robbie Robertson
Everybody grows in their own way.
Robbie Robertson
When you make a record, your own record, and you don't even recognize it yourself, it's hard to think if anybody else is going to recognize.
Robbie Robertson
I don't like overt traditionalism.
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
I come from a family who prided themselves, both sides, on memory. And I was told growing up, constantly, that I was born with a really good memory.
Robbie Robertson
I haven't been to many music events where somebody was performing and it actually made me cry.
Robbie Robertson
It's a bit of a sore spot, the Thanksgiving in Indian country.
Robbie Robertson
You don't stumble upon your heritage. It's there, just waiting to be explored and shared.
Robbie Robertson
I wanted to develop a guitar style where phrases and lines get there just in the nick of time, like with Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper. Subtleties mean so much, and there is a stunning beauty in them.
Robbie Robertson
Music should never be harmless.
Robbie Robertson
If I can play one note and make you cry, then that's better than those fancy dancers playing twenty notes.
Robbie Robertson
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
Robbie Robertson
Some people love some music, and they hear it a year later and they think, 'What was I thinking?'
Robbie Robertson
