It seems like everything I do musically I tend to lose a few fans and gain a few fans, and it all kind of evens out.

More quotes by Conor Oberst
I have many friends who are both Mexican and Mexican-American and others who, I guess you would say, are somewhere in between. The ironic thing is that all three of those categories often exist inside of the same family.
Conor Oberst
I don't hold anything against Barack Obama. I just think the system is so corrupt, it doesn't matter how well-intentioned someone is, as I believe he was and is. At the end of the day, I think it just comes down to money. This is all about class warfare. All of our political problems.
Conor Oberst
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.
Conor Oberst
The idea of forever is kind of ridiculous, which is unfortunate because its kind of a nice thing to say, you know. I think it softens the blow of mortality and having to say goodbye to everything you know and everyone you love and all that kind of thing.
Conor Oberst
Little soldier, little insect You know war it has no heart It will kill you in the sunshine Or happily in the the dark Where kindness is a card game Or a bent up cigarette In the trenches, in the hard rain With a bullet and a bet.
Conor Oberst
Cause a costume can be comfortable It can make you feel more beautiful It can even make you look like someone else But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix.
Conor Oberst
Maybe there's a different story when it comes to hip-hop or different genres, but as far as rock music goes, I think there is a sort of fear of saying things people might be apt to criticize. Our band is the opposite of that.
Conor Oberst
It's hard to get people to focus on one idea.
Conor Oberst
It's in vogue to have a cause and give money in charity. But to actually speak up and say something like, I'm pissed about this - that doesn't seem to be very popular unless you're writing a blog or tweeting.
Conor Oberst
With science and reason throughout history, what people believed turned out to be false. So I like to keep an open mind to all perspectives and learn and become more fully realised as a person. I just feel we're never going to know what the full picture is.
Conor Oberst
I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.
Conor Oberst
I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories
Conor Oberst
I'm ripe for the picking for the Scientologists - one of those creeps. Someone's got to find me. Some little weird cult can just pluck me up, because I'm ripe for the picking.
Conor Oberst
I like the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. I love how it's been rained on forever and looks worn down by time.
Conor Oberst
We're going to sing about things that matter to us. The balancing act is to present these ideas but also make the music exciting and sort of fun enough that even if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, you might still like the songs anyway. That's the idea.
Conor Oberst
We, the Desaparecidos, are perfectly prepared for people to hate what we're saying or not like what we're saying.
Conor Oberst
I started to sink like the moon tends to do if you stare at it too long Then you blink and it's gone.
Conor Oberst
I really believe in the way the energy can consolidate in certain geographical spots. You can find it in a lot of different places, beautiful natural spots, or if you look at Islam or Judaism or Christianity, these ideas of holy places.
Conor Oberst
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault...
Conor Oberst
Popular music is all about traveling at the speed of you and elevating the individual as the highest thing in the world.
