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.

More quotes by 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
If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.

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.

I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. 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.

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.

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 go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
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 don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.
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
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.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
Cass McCombs
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.

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

I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
