More quotes by Robyn Hitchcock
After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
Robyn Hitchcock
The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.
Robyn Hitchcock
Just as with a guitar, you can improvise a guitar solo, and they'd probably be similar each time, but they won't be exactly the same. With the word, it's probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.
Robyn Hitchcock
We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.
Robyn Hitchcock
Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.
Robyn Hitchcock
If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.
Robyn Hitchcock
I don't advocate Stalinist monolithic state structures any more than I advocate capitalistic monoliths. Unfortunately, human society tends to the monolithic, whether you go to the left or right, everybody in leathers, or everybody holding Chairman Mao's book, and if everybody goes to one end of the pitch, I always go to the other.
Robyn Hitchcock
I'm 63. It's kind extraordinary that I'm out here at all and people want to see me.
Robyn Hitchcock
People in the future look back on primitive machinery or technology or painting, and in some ways, it always seems amazingly intricate and finely wrought.
Robyn Hitchcock
Love is the distance between reality and pain.
Robyn Hitchcock
I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.
Robyn Hitchcock
If you miss someone too much you turn into them... though it doesn't seem to work for the Christian Church.
Robyn Hitchcock
If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.
Robyn Hitchcock
After Nashville sushi and a long debate on Bob Dylan, we went into Woodland Studios at 10 pm that night for a look around, and jammed for 5 hours solid.
Robyn Hitchcock
If you do things out of time you're weird.
Robyn Hitchcock
Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.
Robyn Hitchcock
People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups.
Robyn Hitchcock
Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.
Robyn Hitchcock
I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.
Robyn Hitchcock
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
Robyn Hitchcock
