I really like dark music and darkness in general and cynicism and pessimism and negativity because it allows you to create an even bigger contrast.

More quotes by Andrew W.K.
I have met people that said when their friend was dying, they made them promise that their funeral would be a party without people sitting in silence and in sadness. They want to celebrate their life and the life they lived and I try to adhere to that more.

We can only learn so much about our minds, because we are using our minds to do so.
Andrew W.K.
Some people are monogamous from the get-go while other date as many people as possible until you have that conversation. Have the conversation at the start so that everyone is clear.
Andrew W.K.
Someone who claims to know what happens after death is probably someone we should be suspicious of -- they might be a ghost.

Everyone knows that in the early stages of a relationship, some alcohol can help lead to lowering inhibitions, calming some nerves and encouraging fearlessness. And sometimes that helps you meet someone or get with a partner you normally wouldn't have, so it can be good in that sense.

I feel very emotional and party.

I always liked major-key music quite a bit, and that might have something to do with so many of the musical experiences of my childhood being based around the piano. On piano, it is very easy to move between major and minor and to really see how it looks and to feel how it sounds.

There is an endorphin rush that comes when you puke. It's kind of like a runners wall. Once you cross that wall, once you cross that party wall and you puke, you do get a rush. There are good chemicals there. And also, you've made more room in your gut, in your stomach, in your gullet for more content, whether it be fluids or foods.

You shouldn't need an excuse or a way to ease out.
Andrew W.K.
You always have to take responsibility for the choices you made. Once you can come to that truth, it's a very satisfying and relieving feeling. You don't have to fight anymore, you just get to do.
Andrew W.K.
I just love the delusional, hallucinatory qualities of sleep deprivation. I can't get enough of it.
Andrew W.K.
In some ways, you do lose a bit of freedom but as you get older, you might realize that you've met someone pretty cool - maybe a soulmate - so you're getting released from the endless pursuit of going out and trying to meet new people. So now you get to put your energy into building something that's longer lasting and a bit more meaningful.

There's no drug that I would never take again.

I remember when I first moved to New York, people said, Wow, man! You're so great. You have all these hopes and dreams, but it's going to be sad when you realize how the world really works! But one of the things I love most about this city is that everyone who moves here is being unreasonable. There's a sense of solidarity about that.
Andrew W.K.
That I ever think for one minute that I should ever feel lonely is obscene and unreasonable.

I think J.S. Bach's music stands among humankind's greatest accomplishments. For me, Bach's music is not only as good as music gets, but also as good as it gets, period -- as good as existence, reality, life and the world.
Andrew W.K.
When people do things to make your dream come true, you owe them in one way or another. Everyone understands that for every dream that comes true for you, there might not be a dream coming true for someone else. When we trade one wish for another, there's a price to pay. It works like that
Andrew W.K.
We do what we like, and we like what we do.
Andrew W.K.
Sometimes you have to open yourself to the random possibilities of, I guess, destiny.
Andrew W.K.
If you're in a committed relationship, then you don't want to pursue anything.
