More quotes by Bradford Cox
I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.
Bradford Cox
I see a lot of people doing an '80s thing who weren't even born until the '90s.
Bradford Cox
When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
Bradford Cox
I want to satisfy the listener, exactly. I want to entertain the audience. I want the people to leave the show with the feeling I used to leave shows with when I was young, and I couldn't get over it for another three or four days after it. I just kept reliving the set in my mind.
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 think the younger kids need to realize there's this whole forgotten 90s that people don't really talk about.

I read a lot - surveys of vernacular music. A lot of it is the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music, which I've loved since I was in high school. They had it at the library and I always thought that was interesting, even when I was into punk and stuff. Just the history of storytelling and the amount of melancholy a lot of old music has.
Bradford Cox
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
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.
Bradford Cox
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
Everybody just needs to realize that when you write something you're just in one mood. I was told I needed to write it and it was overdue I don't even remember what day it was.
Bradford Cox
I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.
Bradford Cox
Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them. There's not like this separate caste system where it's like, I'm the musician, you're the audience. Never the two shall meet. It was a case where it was like, Hey, you know what? I'm on your level, man.
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
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
When I started having a couple of beers and loosening up, I realized how many years I had wasted going back to my hotel room alone when I could have gone and just had a beer or two.
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.
Bradford Cox
It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.
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 collaborate a little bit with different aspects of my own mind. I kick my own ass instead of kicking other people's asses.
