Justice & Law Quote by Robbie Williams

It’s the swagger of a pop star translating tabloid survival into a usable philosophy: don’t beg for retroactive mercy. “There’s no point regretting things” isn’t enlightenment so much as armor. Williams frames regret as wasted motion, then pivots to a blunt bit of street-law morality - “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime” - collapsing emotional consequences and public consequences into the same deal. Say the messy thing, live with the headline. No courtroom appeal.

The subtext is reputation management disguised as personal freedom. Williams’ career has been built in the glare: lad-mag bravado, highly public mistakes, rehab narratives, the constant churn of confession-as-content. In that ecosystem, remorse can look less like sincerity and more like weakness you’re inviting people to weaponize. So he chooses a different posture: responsibility without penitence. He’s not claiming he was right; he’s claiming he’ll stand by the fact he did it.

“Life’s too short to worry about things I’ve said” also tips its hand. For a musician whose job is to externalize feeling - often impulsively, often publicly - “what I’ve said” is both lyrics and interviews, banter and blurts. The line protects the artist’s right to be unfiltered, even when the world starts demanding PR-approved self-editing.

What makes it work is the punchy cadence: three short hits that feel like common sense, even as they dodge the harder question of harm. It’s less about absolution than momentum: keep moving, keep performing, don’t let yesterday’s quote write tomorrow’s chorus.
