More quotes by Cass McCombs
People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.
Cass McCombs
I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Cass McCombs
Folk art has never been much about politics it's about action and utility.
Cass McCombs
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best. To make it about the artist and to dwell upon biographical information can only make it singular, and I am really, really disgusted by that.
Cass McCombs
I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
Cass McCombs
I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.
Cass McCombs
I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.
Cass McCombs
As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.
Cass McCombs
I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.
Cass McCombs
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
Cass McCombs
I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.
Cass McCombs
Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.
Cass McCombs
It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.
Cass McCombs
I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.
Cass McCombs
As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.
Cass McCombs
If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.
Cass McCombs
I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
Cass McCombs
This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.
Cass McCombs
I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
