More quotes by David Crosby
[Calling you a] star is just a trick. It's like a straw man thing. They [people] set you up just to knock you over. It's bull. You avoid it, I avoid it.
David Crosby
Largely I write from life. ... I write from what happens to me. Mostly about love. People notice the other stuff more but I write mostly about love.
David Crosby
Chestnut brown canary, ruby throated sparrow, sing a song, don't be long, thrill me to the marrow.
David Crosby
I do like to smoke pot. I think it's good.
David Crosby
While I was an addict, I didn't write anything. I didn't have the attention span or the will.
David Crosby
There's a site on the internet that swears up and down that I'm worth $46 million and that I'm one of the most highly paid and richest guys in show business. I really wish it was true! Then there's those where it's like my mother was raped by a martian and that kind of thing. National Enquirer-type stuff. They just make it up.
David Crosby
I want to look at myself the way I do on purpose, because if you aggrandize and try to look at yourself the way a fan does or the way a reviewer does or the way - God bless them, they all got a right to, everybody's got a right to an opinion about it.
David Crosby
The easiest way to get laid by a girl, or get rid of her, is to write a song about her.
David Crosby
I think music is a lifting force, I think love is the lifting force in the human condition. I think you see someone loving on their child, and it moves you, and you can't help it.
David Crosby
I don't like greed, I don't like ignorance. I really don't like anger. But I love love.
David Crosby
Alec Guinness classed up that movie [Star Wars]. Nobody else in that movie knew how to act. Nobody else had a clue of what they were doing. The young guy was a complete loss, absolutely couldn't act his way out of a bag, but Alec Guinness carried that movie. He was such a class act that it elevated the film to be a joy to watch.
David Crosby
My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it.
David Crosby
After all the time we [people] spent saying look, war is a stupid way to solve stuff - oh, you're not trying to solve stuff. You're trying to make money.
David Crosby
I'm not givin' in an inch to fear.
David Crosby
You tend to write as you get older about family love more than you write about romantic love or ooh baby. ... The stuff that you want to celebrate about humanity has always been there and probably always will be.
David Crosby
I write very sporadically. I write sometimes three things in a week and then nothing for a year. I make a space for it but I don't push it. They just come and they come.
David Crosby
Neil Young played Helpless, and by the time he finished, we were asking him if we could join his band
David Crosby
All wars would end immediately if the various chiefs of state dropped a little LSD.
David Crosby
It can't happen here is number one on the list of famous last words.
David Crosby
I love music. I love making songs. I feel like I've been given a path where I can contribute, where I can protest if somebody does something really obviously wrong or inhuman right in front of me, where I can make a difference. Where I can most especially elevate, make you happy, elevate the condition, elevate the thing.
David Crosby
