More quotes by Amos Lee
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
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'm not into cold weather, I like warm weather.
Amos Lee
We all need a place that we can go, And feel over the rainbow
Amos Lee
Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.
Amos Lee
I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.
Amos Lee
As an experience, as a listener, for me, I miss the record store. I miss going in and knowing the guy at the counter and being like, Hey, knowing that he was going to hate the record I put on the counter, and still buying it. That takes some guts.
Amos Lee
I like down-to-earth people.
Amos Lee
You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
Amos Lee
I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.
Amos Lee
Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.
Amos Lee
I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.
Amos Lee
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
Amos Lee
Country artists have advantages all over the place. The radio support is incredible. The fanbase is rabid, all over.
Amos Lee
Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
Amos Lee
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
Amos Lee
I live a pretty anonymous life.
Amos Lee
I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.
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
I wasn't a very good teacher.
