Love is the distance between reality and pain.
Robyn Hitchcock

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.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.
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

After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
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
Image
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.
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 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
Image
Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.

If you do things out of time you're weird.
