More quotes by 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.

It is OK to be happy in life. Even through all the strife, maybe especially during times of great pain and suffering. We still have to be able to stay close to that joy because we can't save the world in a bad mood.

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.

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.

I just love the delusional, hallucinatory qualities of sleep deprivation. I can't get enough of it.

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.

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

Someone who claims to know what happens after death is probably someone we should be suspicious of -- they might be a ghost.

If you're in a committed relationship, then you don't want to pursue anything.

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.
That I ever think for one minute that I should ever feel lonely is obscene and unreasonable.

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.

Dating is tricky these days. Everyone plays by different dating rules, so don't assume anything.
Andrew W.K.
Your love is the ultimate love that empowers all your efforts, a true love for what is indestructibly and perpetually you.

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.

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

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.

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.
The music is just very specifically [designed] to get you energized. That's the great thing about those situations: I have no choice. It completely takes over your body and pushes you, like it was designed to do. I'm constantly surrounded by music, energy, and experiences that put me in that state of cheer.
Andrew W.K.
We do what we like, and we like what we do.
