More quotes by Bradford Cox
You're always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that's maybe even too weird for your own taste.
Bradford Cox

I read a lot - surveys of vernacular music. A lot of it is the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music, which I've loved since I was in high school.

Bradford Cox
I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
Bradford Cox
It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.
Bradford Cox
When I started having a couple of beers and loosening up, I realized how many years I had wasted going back to my hotel room alone when I could have gone and just had a beer or two.
Bradford Cox
I know so many people think my music is quite influenced by Animal Collective, but honestly I think maybe the factor is that we're both influenced by the same stuff.
Bradford Cox
You're always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that's maybe even too weird for your own taste. In my case it's kind of weird because I started out being known more for ambient things and ambiguous music, but what's experimental for me is the more traditional structure. For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
Bradford Cox
I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.
Bradford Cox
You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.
Bradford Cox
I refuse to put myself into a situation in which I have to face some kind of I'm losing it kind of thing. I'm not losing it it's changed. What it is is changing.
