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. 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.

I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.
Bradford Cox
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.

Bradford Cox
For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

My entire education in music was in reading interviews with bands like Stereolab and finding out about Brazilian music or a Romanian composer. You expose yourself to what people you look up to admire.
Bradford Cox
I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?
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
I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.
Bradford Cox

Bradford Cox
We all come back to our little worlds.
Bradford Cox
I'm real critical of myself. I think a lot of what I've done is boring indie rock. I didn't intend it to be that way, but somehow milk gets added to everything.
Bradford Cox
I am asexual. A-sexual. I read somewhere, maybe on Facebook, where somebody said something like, I heard Bradford was gay, but then I heard he was bi. Then somebody wrote, No, I heard he was asexual. And then somebody said, That's bullshit - he totally hit on my friend after a show.
