More quotes by 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.

The writing of the record didn't take long, because I just have a huge stack of papers and I just pluck from the stack. It took a long time because it's very expensive to make records in fact, I think it's a complete rip-off.
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.

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

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, It makes me think. I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

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.
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.
Cass McCombs
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.
Cass McCombs
I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
Cass McCombs
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
Loneliness is the most compelling force in the universe.
Cass McCombs
I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
Cass McCombs
I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.
Cass McCombs
If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.
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.
