More quotes by Cass McCombs
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
Cass McCombs
It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.
Cass McCombs
It's not like that when you're a songwriter - songwriters aren't like pulp writers or journalists, even. You just follow the muse. It's called muse-ic. Whenever the muse decides to bestow her inspiration on the songwriter, then the song is born.

Loneliness is the most compelling force in the universe.

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.
Cass McCombs
It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.
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 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.
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
Folk art has never been much about politics it's about action and utility.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.
Cass McCombs
I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.
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
This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.
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
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
