More quotes by Cass McCombs
Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.
Cass McCombs
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
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.
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
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.
Cass McCombs
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
Cass McCombs
I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

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

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 do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
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
When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.
Cass McCombs
Everyone wants to be well-loved and appreciated but, at the same time, there are some people that just don't want to be your friend, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that.
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
I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
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 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
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.
