More quotes by Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
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 have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
Beck
My whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche...it's one of the reasons a lot of my generation are always on the fence about things. They're afraid to commit to anything for fear of seeming like a cliche. They're afraid to commit to their lives because they see so much of the world as a cliche.
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 didn't want to be on a major label. I wanted all the attention and the noise to go away because I wanted to be something a little bit more substantial.
Beck
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
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
You can't write if you can't relate.
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
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
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
Two men look out the same prison bars one sees mud and the other stars.
Beck
Sometimes things in life take a few years to digest, and they find their way into the work later on. Sometimes I'm writing about things from eight years ago-they just took a long time to distill and come out in the appropriate way.
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 my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
Beck
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
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.
