About this Quote
In this quote, Robbie Williams is expressing his feelings of constantly having to discuss why he hasn't stayed in touch with individuals from his past in Stoke-on-Trent. He then goes on to state that this is not simply restricted to those from his home town, however he resembles that with anyone. This suggests that Williams has a tendency to keep people at a range and not let them into his life. He relies exclusively on himself and does not depend on others for assistance or companionship. This might be due to previous experiences or a worry of vulnerability. In general, Williams is acknowledging his propensity to separate himself and count on his own strength.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
