More quotes by 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
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
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.
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
As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.
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
Songwriting is my gift from God
Smokey Robinson
We're very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves
Smokey Robinson
Before you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now. My Mama told me, you better shop around.
Smokey Robinson
You know what, life is full of temptations
Smokey Robinson
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
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
Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist
Smokey Robinson
They don't tell you this in school, Everybody plays the fool.
Smokey Robinson
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea to wear in your hair.
Smokey Robinson
And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey Robinson
When you write a song, a song has longevity
