Bradford Cox
Image
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
Image
When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
Bradford Cox
Image
People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.
Bradford Cox
Image
I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.

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
Image
Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
