Im not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers.

It just doesnt mean anything t...

It just doesnt mean anything to me, the high-profile, big money side of things. I just want enough to live on, and to be able to get on with what I do, and hang around my friends.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

There are people I would like ...

There are people I would like to work with. Its a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I cant really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

Those nations of artists, finding their own individualism, and kind of standing against the world: to me that's the ultimate nightmare. I want to get lost and diffused in the world.

When I'm singing I try not be a singer with a capital S. I just try to get it out so I feel comfortable with it.

The missing links in my life's work, no less!

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

Even if you're specific about the character of the song, it's more exciting to place them, juxtapose them in such a way as to make an adventure out of the sequence of the songs.

I would like to think that the singer is the butterfly, and the drummer was just the little grub in the ground, working to become a caterpillar

Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

People have habits about what ...

People have habits about what they think songs should be like. There's the folky thing of: 'Poor me, I'm a sensitive person in a cruel world.' Or the pop thing of: 'Hey, look at me, I'm sexy.'

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

Because I'm associated with an avant-garde sensibility, people think I'm looking down on popular culture, but I don't want to be part of a new elitism.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

What I like about popular cult...

What I like about popular culture is its accessibility, and I've covered popular songs because they are amazing things.

There are a lot of composers who were fantastic, but I challenge them to write a record that you could play five times a day for two months on the radio, songs that people will want to dance to on a Saturday night.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I don't want to be a professional cripple. And I don't see the suicide stuff as tragic.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I looked at what adults were doing and how they wanted to earn money, and I really didn't want to do that. I wanted to go away.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

What hurts people a lot is taking humiliation.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I was a latecomer to politics. Maybe I'm just very slow. I got to everything when everyone else had left.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I get slightly irritated by people who say they're natural rebels because it just means that they're going to be against whatever anybody does, which is almost like saying you might as well leave it as it is.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I'm naturally quite conformist...

I'm naturally quite conformist, really. If I go to a country and they say, 'You've got to drive on the right,' I'm not going to drive on the left to show that I'm different. I'm able to stick to the law.

Robert Wyatt 03.03.2018 03:03:03 98 quotes

I'm not a soldier for anything...

I'm not a soldier for anything, either. I'm only a singer and I don't think it makes a difference what we sing.
