More quotes by 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
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
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

Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

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