More quotes by 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
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'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.
Bradford Cox
When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
Bradford Cox
I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.
Bradford Cox
For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
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 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.
Bradford Cox
It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.
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. In my case it's kind of weird because I started out being known more for ambient things and ambiguous music, but what's experimental for me is the more traditional structure. For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
Bradford Cox
I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
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.
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
I don't have anything to prove.
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 think the younger kids need to realize there's this whole forgotten 90s that people don't really talk about.
Bradford Cox
I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.
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'm more into Neil Young and radical honesty.
Bradford Cox
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.
