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.

More quotes by Cass McCombs
I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.

To me, craft work is the ultimate. Maybe I got this idea from the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, who was employed as a sculptor to the state and church, making coins and things. While he admired Michelangelo, he also made fun of his spiritual angst with art.

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.

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.

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.

I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.

Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.

I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.
