More quotes by Cass McCombs
I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
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
I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.
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
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
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
Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.
Cass McCombs
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

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.
Cass McCombs
It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
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.
Cass McCombs
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
Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.
Cass McCombs
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.
Cass McCombs
I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
Cass McCombs
Folk art has never been much about politics it's about action and utility.
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
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
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.
