More quotes by Ben Folds
I could probably live in Bali the rest of my life and completely live in the sticks and have a f - king moped and make a record every couple of years and not step in public and break even like I do anyway. That's really tempting.

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

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 way I see it, there's only one melody for any song.

With a song, it only takes a couple of minutes to go back to the beginning and try it again to see if it works. The novel freaks me out because, what if you get into the eighth chapter and think, 'Let's go to the top and see if this works again? It's going to take me three weeks.' I'm in awe of that.

What stupid f - king idiot gets married a second time if the first time didn't work out?
Ben Folds
The press is like any business. Its a group of really intelligent individuals that ends up being one slathering, one-eyed, drooling monster.
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
The cruelest lies are often told without a word The kindest truths are often spoken, never heard

Being capable of anything is a bullshit concept, unless it means you also admit that you're capable of cheating, lying and killing.

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.

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.

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 do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it's usually because you're just not coming to grips with something.
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
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.

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
There is still some art in pop music. But it can't happen if you're not inspired.
Ben Folds
And all I really want to say is you're the reason I want to stay.
Ben Folds
Next door, there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one day passed away in his sleep. And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days and passed away. I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.
