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
The problem turned out to be that I never was that kind of an artist.
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
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
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
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
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
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
People who have memorized your songs-how can you not love them?
Todd Rundgren
They may be stupid, but they sure are fun.
Todd Rundgren
I'd like to continue to play until I drop dead on stage or something.
Todd Rundgren
There must be a God because he made me.
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
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
Singles needed to come back. And what I tried to do in my online experiment was to change the rules for myself and make available at a more regular pace the fruits of my labour, for people who decided they wanted to support my recordings.
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
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
One Long Year was just a song here and there, and it was meant to reflect the mood that I was in but unfortunately it also reflected too little of any particular thing rather than hanging together as a whole album.
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
