The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

I've never been burdened with...

I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

I don't advocate Stalinist monolithic state structures any more than I advocate capitalistic monoliths. Unfortunately, human society tends to the monolithic, whether you go to the left or right, everybody in leathers, or everybody holding Chairman Mao's book, and if everybody goes to one end of the pitch, I always go to the other.

Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

People in the future look back on primitive machinery or technology or painting, and in some ways, it always seems amazingly intricate and finely wrought.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

Most comedians I know are qui...

Most comedians I know are quite serious, anxious people who find life rather difficult. As a consequence, they make people laugh.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

Comedy is what happens when you cross the dateline from the unbearable. Things become so unbearable they become a joke.

If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

The universe is based on sullen entropy;
It falls apart as it goes on

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

Like trillions of others, if it wasn't for Bob Dylan, it would have been a different musical landscape. Pop music wouldn't have been my thing at all. I did also grow up listening to The Beatles, but I never thought of being a Beatle.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

When I first started listening...

When I first started listening to music intently as a teenager, I was always sitting there with a biro or a pencil, drawing. That's how I absorbed it all.

I'm good at line-drawing, and some of my color stuff is okay. So I just do it for record covers.

I don't advocate Stalinist monolithic state structures any more than I advocate capitalistic monoliths. Unfortunately, human society tends to the monolithic, whether you go to the left or right, everybody in leathers, or everybody holding Chairman Mao's book, and if everybody goes to one end of the pitch, I always go to the other.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

People from the past always seem to have much more time to create beautiful, intricate, delicate things that often reach the future in a kind of curled-up, capsized state.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.

Robyn Hitchcock 71 quotes

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

If you do things out of time you're weird.
