More quotes by Smokey Robinson
If I just gave you a piece of paper with the lyrics written down on it, it would mean something to you. It would tell you a story.
Smokey Robinson
The only thing you're taking out of here is your spirit and your soul, so we need to be conscious to try and develop that part of ourselves, because we're all spiritual creatures.
Smokey Robinson
Put your trust in me, let this love be. This is for real, let time stand still.
Smokey Robinson
That's what love is made of, snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails, sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Smokey Robinson
You know what, life is full of temptations
Smokey Robinson
People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.
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
We're very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves
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
I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music
Smokey Robinson
You are most certainly the inspiration for all of today's rock 'n' roll guitarists. Your music is timeless.
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
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
Though you treat me badly, I love you madly.
Smokey Robinson
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea to wear in your hair.
Smokey Robinson
We're all going to be victims of temptation at several points in our lives.
Smokey Robinson
And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey Robinson
The one thing about God that's so beautiful is He is omnipotent, and He is the Almighty. But He's not a dictator.
Smokey Robinson
Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.
