More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.
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'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
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
I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
Beck
I didn't want to do something typical.
Beck
I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
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
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'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
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
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
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.
