I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.

More quotes by Beck
Two men look out the same prison bars one sees mud and the other stars.
Beck
There are plenty of Minutemen. People willing to be Minutemen. Where are the people that want to be George Washington? Where are the Benjamin Franklins? Where is Sam Adams? Where is John Adams?
Beck
Growing up, a film was an action film or it was a comedy or it was romantic, but you don't really see such stark lines between genres nowadays.
Beck
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
Art is the child of Nature yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.
Beck
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
Beck

Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
Beck

Beck
I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this, it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.
Beck
I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.
Beck
Set your guitars and banjos on fire and before you write a song smoke a pack of whiskey and it'll all take care of itself.
Beck
I think it's interesting being American, the expectations for an American guy, and the image that has to be projected. 'Oh, I can't wear pink,' that kind of stuff. There's none of that in Europe.
Beck
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.
Beck
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
Beck
I've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music.
Beck
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
You can't write if you can't relate.
