Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
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 you miss someone too much you turn into them... though it doesn't seem to work for the Christian Church.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.
Robyn Hitchcock

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

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.

Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
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
Image
Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.
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.
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
Image
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
Image
I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.
