I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

More quotes by Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.
Beck
It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
Beck
Eventually, if you're experimenting with a sound that's unfamiliar, it gets absorbed, and somebody comes and does it better, and it becomes part of a vocabulary.
Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
Beck
It was disturbing to me that an idea or a song could become something so different from what you originally intended. It's like if a friend took a stupid picture of you at a party on their phone, and the next thing you knew, it was on every billboard.
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
I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
Beck
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
Beck
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
Beck
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
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
Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.
Beck
Sea Change was so specific. From the beginning it was set what it was going to be. All the other ideas that I had at the time I had to put to the side.
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
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
There's 40 or 50 songs that nobody's heard that I've done in between albums. There's a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that's never been released.
Beck
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
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.
