More quotes by Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.
Beck
I think it's interesting being American, the expectations for an American guy, and the image that has to be projected. 'Oh, I can't wear pink,' that kind of stuff. There's none of that in Europe.
Beck
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.
Beck
You can't write if you can't relate.
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
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
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
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
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
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 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
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
I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.
Beck
It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
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
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
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'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
