I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.

More quotes by Cass McCombs
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
Cass McCombs
People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.
Cass McCombs
I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
Cass McCombs
I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
Cass McCombs
I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
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 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 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.

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
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
When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.
Cass McCombs
To me, craft work is the ultimate. Maybe I got this idea from the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, who was employed as a sculptor to the state and church, making coins and things. While he admired Michelangelo, he also made fun of his spiritual angst with art.
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
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
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
It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.
Cass McCombs
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
Cass McCombs
Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.
Cass McCombs
Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.
