More quotes by Robyn Hitchcock
I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.
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
Love is the distance between reality and pain.
Robyn Hitchcock
As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.
Robyn Hitchcock
Production is something Ive never come to terms with.
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
Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.
Robyn Hitchcock
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
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
After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
Robyn Hitchcock
Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.
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
I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.
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
Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.
Robyn Hitchcock
I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.
Robyn Hitchcock
If you do things out of time you're weird.
Robyn Hitchcock
One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.
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
Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.
