More quotes by Todd Rundgren
I prefer hallucinations cause they tend to make more sense than experience.
Todd Rundgren
I know that I could make this world peaceful and calm, if I only could get my hands on a hydrogen bomb.
Todd Rundgren
And so it's inescapable and people who proclaim scrupulous honesty can only proclaim that if they don't examine closely the things they believe.
Todd Rundgren
I've got billions of sparrows to worry about as well as everything else'. So there's the whole idea that whatever it is that you believe, it can never be valid unless you have some consensus reality demonstration.
Todd Rundgren
People who have memorized your songs-how can you not love them?
Todd Rundgren
There must be a God because he made me.
Todd Rundgren
I've had production offers with artists I really admire, and oftentimes that doesn't work out. Sometimes it does, but... For instance I was asked if I wanted to do a Talking Heads album back in the late '70s, early '80s, and I was already working on a different project and didn't have time, so I never got the opportunity to work with them.
Todd Rundgren
You would have thought that as you got older the voice would tend to deteriorate in some ways, but I always look at somebody like Tony Bennett, who is my senior, and still can hit those high notes and still can belt it out as good as he ever did. So it must be something about the voice that's unlike the rest of the muscles in your body.
Todd Rundgren
Most people didnt have the bandwidth to download whole albums. And so it brought back this cherry picking idea that the audience would focus on certain songs and possibly be the impetus behind what eventually got on AM radio: the single or whatever.
Todd Rundgren
It's the only way that YOUR life is gonna have any value to you. If you're just living the same life that everybody else is living what's the point?
Todd Rundgren
Kept his locker full of weed just to satisfy his smoking needs and his love of fire.
Todd Rundgren
If you're familiar enough with my body of work, my voice is a familiar totem, in a sense. I guess I have something characteristic in the way that I sing, although I'm not very personally self-conscious about it, so I don't think about it that much. But when I hear the record I can tell it's me.
Todd Rundgren
Today I saw a car crush my little dog under it's wheel.
Todd Rundgren
There are still people who believe in that and wake up every day believing it's possible, and invest their whole selves in that.
Todd Rundgren
They may be stupid, but they sure are fun.
Todd Rundgren
I don't have the same restrictions that other people do because I never painted myself into a corner. I've always done things that didn't necessarily fit the form. I've never felt limited in that respect in terms of songwriting.
Todd Rundgren
I've always said, rather glibly, that the message of my career has been about individualism, about getting to know yourself and taking responsibility, not just for what you do, but what you think.
Todd Rundgren
My senses tell me hubba.
Todd Rundgren
I get my sticks and go out to the shed, and I pound on that drum like it was my boss's head.
Todd Rundgren
It seems like a totally gratuitous myth to tell people a giant rabbit comes round at night leaving candy in a haphazard way around the house... and the cover shows the bunny caught in the act.
Todd Rundgren
