More quotes by Amos Lee
I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.
Amos Lee
We all need a place that we can go, And feel over the rainbow
Amos Lee
My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.
Amos Lee
I wasn't a very good teacher.
Amos Lee
As I've moved along - not only my life, but my career and things like that - you look at yourself and start going, 'Oh, man, are you still doing what you set out to do? Are the ideals you had still the same?' Sometimes you measure up and sometimes you don't.
Amos Lee
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
Amos Lee
I'm not into cold weather, I like warm weather.
Amos Lee

Amos Lee
Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.
Amos Lee
I'm not a mass-appeal artist.
Amos Lee
I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.
Amos Lee
If you're a novelist, you have sort of themes that run throughout novels. You start a novel and you finish a novel. With record-making in the singer-songwriter world or whatever it is that I do, it's a little different because there is no specific arc that is necessarily, like it's not a concept record.
Amos Lee
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
Amos Lee
I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.
