If you're afraid they might discover your redneck past, there are a hundred ways to cover your redneck past.
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.
Ben Folds
The cruelest lies are often told without a word The kindest truths are often spoken, never heard

Rock and roll is - and should be - a kid's place.

There is still some art in pop music. But it can't happen if you're not inspired.
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.

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.

I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced

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.

You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.

Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.

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
And all I really want to say is you're the reason I want to stay.
Ben Folds
My parents told me I must get married. I was seen as a failure if I didn't do it.

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
But I really do have a soft spot for the solo shows. Any musician who writes and sings will tell you that's the center of it, that is it. It's almost like there's something church-like about it and you gotta go back there, if you're a songwriter that sings your material.

The nice thing about age is worrying less and less about what people think.
Ben Folds
Im really good at writing almost hits.
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
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.
