More quotes by Brandon Boyd
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.

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
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.
Brandon Boyd
I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.
Brandon Boyd
I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.

You're always first when no one's on your side.

Nothing is indeed true.

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
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.

Don't let a grade decide your self-worth. Personally, in my opinion, someone should gauge their self-worth on what they've accomplished that makes them feel good... not in the hedonist aspect, but in the sense of personal accomplishment, as far as what they've accomplished for them, as far as their self-development and creativity is concerned.
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
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.
Brandon Boyd
I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.
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 haven't had sex with many people in my life, and everyone just assumes that I'm good in bed!! I guess that's a compliment.
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.

The world is a drought when out of love.
Brandon Boyd
Above our heads exists an infinity of unfathomable fantasiastics: and fields of future fireside fables trail close behind
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.

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.
