More quotes by Cass McCombs
I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

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
I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.
Cass McCombs
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.

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.

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
Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

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

I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
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 do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
Cass McCombs
Loneliness is the most compelling force in the universe.
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.

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.
