“If you really want to know something about me, you should know this: I like my music loud.”
“I believe that a person's taste in music tells you a lot about them. In some cases, it tells you everything you need to know.”
"I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.”
"Music has gone the way of food. People want it fast and cheap and they don’t care what it tastes like or where it comes from."
"But I had to know if I was meant to be a musician. Otherwise I'd spend the rest of my life regretting it. Asking myself... what if?"
"Everything in the world's got a voice; most people don't hear hard enough is all. Sunrise sounds like slow chords dripping from my guitar this morning. Sad chords, in B-flat."
"[P]hrases in songs are like beads in a necklace – they should stand on their own, but they make the most sense together."
"I'm analog, Wall of Sound, old school to the core, and it's time to let my B side play."
"That other planet, Venus, I guess, that's the planet your buddy comes from. Now he might lend you albums and you'll have pizza nicey-nice every now and then, but these planets are still different."
"There's a lot that is awful. That's the struggle of getting old. To make sure you don't let what's hard...obscure the beauty."
"I was half-surprised it didn't claim his vibrato could cure cancer."
"But that drummer – the one who could make his drum sound like water dropping into a bucket or like the footfalls of a giant or like rain scattering on a roof – he was the one to watch. He was the one who could make you forget yourself."
"Everyone got older but forgot to grow up."
"I don't know if any of this would have happened if we had been at home... Would we have crammed ourselves into the bathroom of a San Francisco restaurant to play her song? I doubt it."
"Here is the song, here in the left hand. You bury it. We listen and we ask ourselves, 'Where is the story? Where is the beauty in this piece?'"
