Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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

Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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

Robyn Hitchcock
Image
An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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
Image
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.
