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.

More quotes by Todd Rundgren
I'll come around to see you once in a while, or if I ever need a reason to smile, and spend the night if you think I should.
Todd Rundgren
There are any number of conditions as to why your life didn't turn out the way you intended it to. My whole philosophy has always been that there is no way to change anything else in the world if you don't have the capacity to change yourself.
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
The problem turned out to be that I never was that kind of an artist.
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
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
Behind every tree there's a new monster.
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
My senses tell me hubba.
Todd Rundgren
Today I saw a car crush my little dog under it's wheel.
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
I don't want to work, I want to bang on the drum all day.
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
People who have memorized your songs-how can you not love them?
Todd Rundgren
There are some things that we know are just not as pleasant as the lies that we tell ourselves, and in that sense in order to endure existence everyone endures a certain amount of dishonesty in their everyday lives.
Todd Rundgren
People got a little too self-conscious about the techniques that go into recording because sometimes, if you sing too well in tune, people accuse you of auto-tuning. It's like you have to use auto-detuning or something.
Todd Rundgren
I suppose people also have to be a little more careful or circumspect if they're going to leverage their celebrity to promote their political aims. The problem is that politics is about the accretion of power, and it's very difficult not to get giddy with power.
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
Аs long as I've got an audience out there to play for, I'm going to continue to play. I have at least enough people that I can go out on the road for 10, 11 weeks at a time.
Todd Rundgren
I'd like to continue to play until I drop dead on stage or something.
Todd Rundgren
