The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Colin Hay
- People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven’t changed since time began. We’re still the same. We’ve obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch ‘Top Chef’, ‘Project Runway’, and ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.’
- In certain ways I still feel like I’m finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.
- I had a very strange career. I mean I went from playing to 150,000 people in 1983/84. Three or four years later I was playing to four people, you know, in Melbourne. I thought – bit strange, you know bit odd, bit erratic.
- There’s a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
- It’s frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it’s just so difficult to cut through.
- The thing with playing live is, most of the audience is in their 20s and 30s. If you’re older than that, you don’t tend to go out to shows anymore. So it’s good if you can attract a younger audience because they’ve got the energy to get up off the sofa and go out.
- I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.
- My mother features quite heavily in a lot of my songs.
- I can’t remember too much about the ’80s, to be honest with you… I wish that weren’t true, but it is.
- I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?
