More quotes by Brandon Boyd
I think perhaps love thrives on unlikely circumstances and chance: life thrives on these principles, and is life not love? And love not life?
Brandon Boyd
Shakira's music isn't my cup of tea, but the way she moves her hips reminds me of the feeling you get when you climb the gym pole.
Brandon Boyd
Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.
Brandon Boyd
Above our heads exists an infinity of unfathomable fantasiastics: and fields of future fireside fables trail close behind
Brandon Boyd
Pop is an easy way for evil business people to make a lot of money. But I find myself humming a Christina Aguilera song every once in a while.
Brandon Boyd
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things.
Brandon Boyd
You're always first when no one's on your side.

Nothing is indeed true.

I think that what most artists are trying to do is trying to understand. I think what distinguishes creative people and/or artists from another type of person is perhaps a willingness to go headlong into that uncertainty.

I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, that's now, but when it breaks away, there's a brand new piece of skin that's stronger than before. It's like creation out of chaos.

As a surfer, I am interested in the ocean. And I am concerned and interested in all of these natural and cultural rumblings underfoot as well.
Brandon Boyd
Insecurities are about as useful as trying to put the pin back in the grenade.

That first plunge under the shore break on a chilly fall morning. It forces a sound out of one's body that is kind of a whoo-ahhh! - shocking and refreshing all at once. You become acutely aware of your body and your surroundings, which is helpful when you're about to paddle out to sea.
Brandon Boyd
Someone will inevitably find something wrong in almost everything, so do what it is that you do best and remember to have enough tolerance for two.
Brandon Boyd
Unfortunately, the simplest things - such as thinking for myself, creating my own reality and being whatever the hell I want to be each day of my life - are a sin. To be a good Christian basically means to give up the reigns of your life and let some unseen force do it for you.
Brandon Boyd
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.
Brandon Boyd
I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.

Your music sounds better on the radio, for some reason. It's an amazing feeling. I hope it never goes away.
Brandon Boyd
Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.
Brandon Boyd
I actually believe 'Sustainability ', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.
