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
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
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
Somebody else is satisfied by five Bentleys. I'm satisfied by a beautiful string arrangement.
Beck
I'm sure the music is going to come out. I'm not sure if I'm going to put out 12s or put the songs on my website. I just have to get them done.
Beck
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
Beck
When I pull out vinyl - which isn't that often anymore - it's undeniable that I get a different feeling. There's a different physiology happening between the sound waves and the body that doesn't happen with music playing off the computer.
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'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
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 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've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
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 didn't want to do something typical.
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
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
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.
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
In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.
