Some Robert Wyatt's quotes. Goto "Robert Wyatt's quotation" section for more.The things that I draw on, and the world that I feel part of, aren't particularly youth culture.
Tags: Culture, Draw, YouthThis constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome.
Tags: Hit, Pressure, SingleWhen 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.
Tags: Singer, Singing, TryEven 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.
Tags: Character, Place, SongI find it hard to take rock groups very seriously or treat them with respect. There is something absurd about these gloomy young men getting together and banging away.
Tags: Men, Respect, RockI really liked them, not just Syd, but all of them. Roger was very important, I thought, his contribution. And so was Rick's organ playing. It was a good band. It became something else completely, obviously.
Tags: Else, Good, ThoughtI think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology.
Tags: Fashion, Rock, YouthIf you've never felt that you quite got a hold of it, you just feel that before you die, you've got to try and get it right once. And hope that the experience you have makes up for the some of the diminishing energy.
Tags: Die, Experience, HopeIt just doesn't 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.
Tags: Friends, Mean, MoneyMy heroes are people like Picasso and Miro and people who at last really reach something in their old age, which they absolutely couldn't ever have done in their youth.
Tags: Age, Done, OldPeople are quite shocked when you remind them that Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra never wrote a song that they recorded in their lives, as far as I know.
Tags: Far, Lives, SongPeople say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
Tags: Good, Here, SadThere are people I would like to work with. It's a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I can't really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.
Tags: Bit, Means, WorkThere are singers that I have enjoyed, from Nina Simone and Ray Charles onward. But the music that made music the number one thing for me as a youth was jazz.
Tags: Music, Number, YouthWhen I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.
Tags: Bit, Lost, SingingWhen there is a voice in a piece of music, we tend to focus on the voice. That is probably something from when we were babies and we depended on hearing our mother's voice.
