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
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 have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
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 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
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 a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.
Beck
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
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'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
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
It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
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 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
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.
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
I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.
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.
