More quotes by Beck
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.
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
Growing up, a film was an action film or it was a comedy or it was romantic, but you don't really see such stark lines between genres nowadays.
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
Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
Beck
Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.
Beck
I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.
Beck
I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
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
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
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
Beck
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
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
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
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've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music.
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
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
Two men look out the same prison bars one sees mud and the other stars.
