Elliott Smith
It's hard to represent chaos, or like an absence of something. It's much easier to represent the presence of something or a situation.
Elliott Smith
I wondered if I would talk about drug use. But I guess, why hide it?
Elliott Smith
So if somebody writes a song that appears to have some meaning then everybody thinks that it's a really heavy song.
Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith
It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
Elliott Smith
I didn't have a hard time making it. I had a hard time letting it go.
Elliott Smith
