Festivals are unique. They can be the best of times or the worst. You're not playing to the converted. But those are the best shows - to see if you can make new friends and entertain them.

More quotes by Andrew W.K.
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.
Andrew W.K.
If no one else has ever told you this before, I will tell it to you one more time and hope you believe it and never forget it for the rest of your life: You deserve to be treated well.
Andrew W.K.
If you're in a committed relationship, then you don't want to pursue anything.
Andrew W.K.
When you're single, you go out and party and it's fun, but in a relationship, you experience things together. It's just sharing the memories and looking back on them together, remembering that it was an amazing time. And then thinking about it like it was just yesterday.
Andrew W.K.
You shouldn't need an excuse or a way to ease out.

I have listened to college radio quite a lot. I never went to college, so actually the college radio station is sort of like the closest I got to some kind of college experience.
Andrew W.K.
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.

Dating is tricky these days. Everyone plays by different dating rules, so don't assume anything.
Andrew W.K.
There's no drug that I would never take again.
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.
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.
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.
Andrew W.K.
Sometimes you have to open yourself to the random possibilities of, I guess, destiny.
Andrew W.K.
It's usually better to focus on partying and let the other stuff take care of itself.
Andrew W.K.
That quote by this guy Friedrich Schiller, Keep true to the dreams of thy youth? That quote changed my life. It confirmed that every crazy thing I'd ever done at least was staying true to the dreams of my youth - and really, I mean very young dreams of just being able to have fun all the time.
Andrew W.K.
That I ever think for one minute that I should ever feel lonely is obscene and unreasonable.
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

Everything is always going through changes in terms of attitudes or mood.
Andrew W.K.
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.
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.
