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?

More quotes by 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
Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.
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 just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
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
Two men look out the same prison bars one sees mud and the other stars.
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
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
For the records I've work on over the last 10 years, I get sent the really compressed version and the non-compressed version, and oftentimes you end up going with the more compressed one because it's what people's ears are attuned to. I think the bigger problem is saturation and people being desensitized.
Beck
I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.
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 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
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
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
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
I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
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
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
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.
