I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.
Bradford Cox
I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.
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
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

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

Bradford Cox
I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
Bradford Cox
When I do a record, it sounds more punk and raw. Or it will sound louder, or it will sound more shocking. Or mind-boggling.
