More quotes by Ben Folds
I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they're working. The songs just don't become a part of the film. They're replaced.
Ben Folds
When someone really goes to tell you something about what they're thinking, they're going to wear that experience with them. That's what you have to share.
Ben Folds
I look to an out gay man or woman as pretty much what I would aspire to. The strength that it takes to do that and the floodgates that open and what they pay for it.
Ben Folds
Being capable of anything is a bullshit concept, unless it means you also admit that you're capable of cheating, lying and killing.

My parents told me I must get married. I was seen as a failure if I didn't do it.
Ben Folds
I divorce myself from listeners who aren't tolerant of humor. I did notice universally that, especially when it comes to weight, people look in the mirror and get the angle just right, tell themselves it's all right, and then they go out.
Ben Folds
I'm not really a strange person or anything, so if there's music I like, usually there's other people who like it too.
Ben Folds
You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
Ben Folds
My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.
Ben Folds
The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.
Ben Folds
The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.
Ben Folds
Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.
Ben Folds
If the melody is telling me this is what the song is about, then I'm sort of forced into confession, autobiography or fantasy. If I don't do that, I've hamstrung the melody.
Ben Folds
If I'm in a relationship and my girlfriend is sleeping with other people, I don't need to know who it is I just want to know how she feels about it.
Ben Folds
I have manic energy. What can be done about it? I don't know what to say sometimes. I'm professional in public, but I like to stay inside and be a hermit.
Ben Folds
I've gotten to the point where I realize that I need to tell my truth in music and not walk around blabbing my mind.

I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain.
