The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.

More quotes by Dave Matthews
I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.
Dave Matthews
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.
Dave Matthews
In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.
Dave Matthews
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Dave Matthews
Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.
Dave Matthews
We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!
Dave Matthews
I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.
Dave Matthews
Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
Dave Matthews
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
Dave Matthews
I'll be back 'round again, yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend. And we'll find that place that we had danced in so long ago.
Dave Matthews
I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
Dave Matthews
In many instances, we are much better at fixing our mistakes after we've made them. In some situations, it is easier to sweep things under the rug and forget about them.
Dave Matthews
Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail
Dave Matthews
I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.
Dave Matthews
I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.
Dave Matthews
You know she's going to leave my broken heart behind her...
Dave Matthews
South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
Dave Matthews
I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.
Dave Matthews
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
Dave Matthews
