More quotes by Robyn Hitchcock
If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.
Robyn Hitchcock
If you do things out of time you're weird.
Robyn Hitchcock
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock
After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
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

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.
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.
