More quotes by Conor Oberst
I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we're not seeing, something more like a feeling.
Conor Oberst
When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.
Conor Oberst
I find that moving keeps me optimistic, the idea of what's going to be down the road a bit or around the next bend.

Each Desaparecidos's song has a seed that it came from. We're trying to take that and broaden it out and make it resonate with people.

Rock and roll seems to have had a mellowing in the business where it got harder to sell individual records and make money doing that.
Conor Oberst
To me, a political song is also a personal song. Most political activism has been driven by empathy for other people and the desire for a world that's less divisive. Even if songs aren't overtly political, they can make a listener more empathetic.
Conor Oberst
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed. Will you ever feel ok?
Conor Oberst
I like to feel the burn of the audience's eyes when I'm whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone.
Conor Oberst
Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town. You can save face but you won't ever save your soul. And that's a fact.
Conor Oberst
I swear that I'm dying slowly but it's happening, and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere... just take me there.
Conor Oberst
To outsiders it probably seems like splitting hairs, but to me, Bright Eyes is a simply the collaboration between myself and Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. What you hear is definitely the sum of all our ideas and represents all three of us. But I still write the songs myself.
Conor Oberst
I've given up trying to understand what people think about me.
