I believe that vinyl will outlast CDs.
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
It's hard to get people to focus on one idea.
Conor Oberst
I think our music is more about seeing ourselves in each other and trying to find a more humanistic viewpoint for the world.
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
And me I'm in the bathroom crying out my eyelids because it's hard to be a man when you're scared, just like a little kid.
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.

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

The drunk kids, the catholics They're all about the same They're waiting for something Hoping to be saved
Conor Oberst
I'm not the most technically savvy person in the world. Like, I'm not good at troubleshooting when stuff happens to my digital music.
Conor Oberst
Although Omaha is my birthplace and the place I grew up, I don't see myself spending extended amounts of time there. I feel almost more comfortable and more at peace in New York.
Conor Oberst
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Conor Oberst
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Conor Oberst
There is no Hell when you die so don't look so worried
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
Desaparecidos try to be the opposite of apathetic. There are so many young people in America that are apathetic.
Conor Oberst
We [Desaparecidos] have to make the message and the music and the packaging as appealing as possible - as Taco Bell as possible: mediocre and no one can be offended by it and everyone can sort of enjoy it and we can play it on the radio.
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.
