I don't have anything to prove.
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
When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
Bradford Cox
I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

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
I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.
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
I'm more into Neil Young and radical honesty.
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
What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?
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

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 have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.
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
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
You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.
Bradford Cox
I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.
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
