More quotes by Smokey Robinson
It kills me to see people think that, show business is sex, drugs and rock and roll. And I have what you call a meet and greet. I do it before the show. But when I was doing it after the show especially, there would be people who would come back and said, OK, Smoke, where's the party?
Smokey Robinson

Originally I was not writing songs for myself
Smokey Robinson
Beethoven was just music, and it didn't matter if he could hear it or not - he could feel it. He could hear it in his mind. He could write it down hearing it in his mind. He was just music. Yeah, he's one of my favorite writers of all times.
Smokey Robinson

And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey Robinson
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.
Smokey Robinson
I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Originally I was not writing songs for myself. Songwriting is my gift from God.
Smokey Robinson
I still perform because it's a necessity for my innards. And those songs, some of those songs, I have sung, I don't know how many thousands of times. And I promise you, every single solitary night, they're new to me. They are brand-new to me that night.
Smokey Robinson
As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.
Smokey Robinson
With a heart that is truthful, keeping you youthful.
Smokey Robinson
