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.
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.

You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
Ben Folds
The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.
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
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
The press is like any business. Its a group of really intelligent individuals that ends up being one slathering, one-eyed, drooling monster.
