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.

More quotes by Beck
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
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
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
Beck
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
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
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
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 think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.
Beck
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.
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 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
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
Beck
Especially in music, you wonder, Okay, should I still be doing this? Like, are you overstaying your welcome at the party? But I don't know.
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
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
I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
