More quotes by Cass McCombs
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
Cass McCombs
When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.
Cass McCombs
I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
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
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
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

Cass McCombs
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

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
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 don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
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
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.
Cass McCombs
People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.
Cass McCombs
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.
Cass McCombs
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
Cass McCombs
This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.
Cass McCombs
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
Cass McCombs
It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
