There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.

More quotes by 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'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
Beck
I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
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
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 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
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
Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.
Beck
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
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
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
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
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
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 want to do something typical.
Beck
I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.
Beck
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
Beck
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
