More quotes by 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
Some music is supposed to be disposable that's OK. A lot of music is fun for today, but it isn't supposed to be timeless it's supposed to be trendy.
Robbie Robertson
Bob Dylan is as influential as any artist that there has been.
Robbie Robertson
Everybody grows in their own way.
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
You fog the mind, you stir the soul.
Robbie Robertson
Some people love some music, and they hear it a year later and they think, 'What was I thinking?'
Robbie Robertson

There's a bookstore in New York where you could buy scripts, and I got addicted to them because they were easy, quick reads and the pictures were so vivid.
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
I don't like overt traditionalism.
Robbie Robertson
I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.
Robbie Robertson
Record making is an extraordinary experience.
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
Most of my younger Native American friends are not in any way looking for sympathy, and they're not looking to lay guilt on anybody. They have their dignity, and they do what they do.
