More quotes by Beck
There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.
Beck
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
Beck
I've said for years to wives and mothers, you must start to see yourself as Sarah Connor. You must equip your children with the information they need to survive an ever-changing world.
Beck
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
Beck
There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
Beck
Originally, the lyrics to Girl were really upbeat, and then it didn't work for me somehow. You need the dichotomy. If you're doing something happy and light, you need the shadows.
Beck
There's more well-known artists who aren't making as good songs as people who are just coming out of nowhere. That seems to be more typical in the last few years than ever.
Beck
If someone is making a judgment when they don't have firsthand experience, it's intolerant. How can you make a judgment on something you don't know about?
Beck
With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to.
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 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
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
Beck
It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
Beck
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
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
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
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 remember you would record a guitar part, and we would have to sit there for 15 or 20 minutes waiting for the computer to process it. You'd see the little wheel spinning on the computer, and you'd be praying that the hard drive didn't crash and you didn't lose the performance.
Beck
