Robert Robinson Quotes

I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.

I've always done everything at my disposal to avoid labeling what I do, or to avoid being labeled myself.

My style is ambiguous and lucid. I wish to be signified but not summed up. I don't want to have to go over the top each time.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I wish I were kind of normal. It would be so much more simple.

I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?
