More quotes by 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
I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
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
I don't have anything to prove.
Bradford Cox
I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

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.

I like my solitude, and I'm a strong-willed person I'm a very hard-to-be-around person sometimes, I guess.

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.

I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.
Bradford Cox
I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by 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
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
When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
Bradford Cox
Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
Bradford Cox
I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.
Bradford Cox
I know so many people think my music is quite influenced by Animal Collective, but honestly I think maybe the factor is that we're both influenced by the same stuff.
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.
