I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.
Bradford Cox
Image
I like my solitude, and I'm a strong-willed person I'm a very hard-to-be-around person sometimes, I guess.
Bradford Cox
Image
I don't have anything to prove.

I see a lot of people doing an '80s thing who weren't even born until the '90s.
Bradford Cox
Image
I collaborate a little bit with different aspects of my own mind. I kick my own ass instead of kicking other people's asses.

Image
I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.
Bradford Cox
Image
That's what culture is based on, the passing down of a certain narrative by imitation.

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

You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.

Image
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.
