Zitat des Tages von Robyn Hitchcock:
As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.
I've been able to make a good living as a musician, but now it's time to do all the other stuff.
When you think about great teams, The Beatles and the Pythons immediately spring to mind. The Pythons were as much a part of their time as The Beatles.
Dreams are a scientific fact.
So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I've got a lot in common with everybody else.
I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.
I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again, like a balloon.
You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.
One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.
Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.
I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him.
You can't censor people's dreams.
Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.
Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.
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.
If you do things out of time you're weird.
Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.
The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.
Everything is a reaction.
