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?

More quotes by Bradford Cox
I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.
Bradford Cox
I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.
Bradford Cox
I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.
Bradford Cox
You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.
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
I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.
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
It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.
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
For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
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
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
The sober guy is always going to have this air of arrogance or self-righteousness, but it's not my intention. I just knew that if I drank, I'd have a drinking problem.
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. I'll be trying to figure it out, but once I've got it figured out I'll be like, I know this I know where this came from. I think art is most interesting when the intention is not clear.
Bradford Cox
I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.
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
I think the younger kids need to realize there's this whole forgotten 90s that people don't really talk about.
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
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.
