Bradford Cox
For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
Bradford Cox
I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.
Bradford Cox

You read about that Black Lips/Wavves fight as a spectator and you're like, Oh man, I'm gonna pick a team to be on! I'm gonna put my two cents in as my status update on my Facebook page or something. Not to sound like an anti-technology person, but it's just a real drag that people live their lives that way.

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
I refuse to put myself into a situation in which I have to face some kind of I'm losing it kind of thing. I'm not losing it it's changed. What it is is changing.
Bradford Cox
I don't leave my room, and all I am surrounded by are guitars and equipment, y'know? It's not always the best place to be.
Bradford Cox
That's what culture is based on, the passing down of a certain narrative by imitation.
Bradford Cox
You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.
Bradford Cox
I feel very strongly about the subject matter in The Dallas Buyer's Club - about AIDS and people fighting illnesses, and fighting for survival against bad conditions.
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
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
I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.
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
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.
