More quotes by Bryan Ferry
I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.
Bryan Ferry
I didn't really want to give up music.
Bryan Ferry
All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.
Bryan Ferry
I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.

Performing was terrifying.

Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.

It's quite funny that, 20 years ago, one would have thought putting out a fragrance would [negatively] affect your musical credibility. Now it may enhance it.
Bryan Ferry
I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.
Bryan Ferry
It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.
Bryan Ferry
I've done shows with orchestras, and I like writing with orchestras.
Bryan Ferry
It's good having a lot of different songs to choose from to do the show. It means you don't get bored of doing it in one particular genre.
Bryan Ferry
Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!
Bryan Ferry
But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.
Bryan Ferry
I like to think Duke Ellington would probably embrace a fragrance as well.
Bryan Ferry
But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.
