Chris Robinson Quotes

Musicians playing together, it’s a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.
It’s funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don’t like the way you look.
I make decisions based on my work, not based on meetings with my business managers, who I don’t like to meet.
I’m the weirdo. There have been multitudes of times in my career where I could have taken an easier road or a more commercial path, and I’ve been just like, that’s not gonna make me happy.
I like unkempt; I don’t mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.
What I had to learn was, that I’m only responsible for my perception of things. The world’s not out to get you. That’s not the way it works.

I didn’t want to be told what to do. I don’t want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything’s turning into one big commercial.
Right now, I’ve never been more impressed by the new bands that we meet. I may be 10, 20 years older, but we’re all on the same page about culture, music, and life.
I never thought I’d be on the cover of the ‘Atlanta Journal’ unless I killed someone.
Since the early Nineties it’s been very fashionable to say, ‘It’s all about the music.’
Part of getting older is realizing that you can integrate all these different areas of your life, rather than the adolescent mindset, which for me lasted a long time, which says, ‘It’s all or nothing.’
I’m not a big fan of Robert Plant’s lyrics or his singing.
