I don't advocate Stalinist monolithic state structures any more than I advocate capitalistic monoliths.

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.

Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.

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
There's nothing in the future and there's nothing in the past. There is only this one moment, and you've got to make it last.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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.

I don't really have the gift of the sustained narrative that you need to write a book. I've tried a couple of times, and it just doesn't work. But I get some good passages, so what I'm going to do is just take sections out of them.
