We all come back to our little worlds.

When I got hit by the car, I became depressed. As a result, I've been on antidepressants and I feel like I have no sexuality left. People complain about that side effect, but I love it. I feel outside of society.

I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.

I'll be trying to figure it out, but once I've got it figured out I'll be like, I know this I know where this came from. I think art is most interesting when the intention is not clear.

Bradford Cox
Image
A lot of bands wanna do something new all the time and never repeat themselves, but I'm not so interested in that. If I feel like I can do it better the second time, I'll give it another shot.
Bradford Cox

It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.

I see a lot of people doing an '80s thing who weren't even born until the '90s.

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.

The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it's just terrifying when you're actually experiencing it as a person.

I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
Bradford Cox

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.
