More quotes by 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.

Loneliness is the most compelling force in the universe.
Cass McCombs
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
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
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 do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
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
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

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.
