More quotes by James Vincent McMorrow
I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
James Vincent McMorrow
I feel if I wanted to be taken seriously I have to study music the same way someone who wants to be a doctor would study medicine. You have to know your craft and by doing so I had to make sure to ignore what people were thinking as well.
James Vincent McMorrow
With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.
James Vincent McMorrow
I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.
James Vincent McMorrow
Life is short. I'm here to make music, I'm not here to sit on a beach. That sounds really boring to me.

James Vincent McMorrow
I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
James Vincent McMorrow
At the end of the day music is a grind. You're constantly working at it and even with playing shows as well. If your schedule isn't planned right it could really throw things off, but honestly at the end of the day its incredible being able to go to so many places.
James Vincent McMorrow
I have a vision for everything that I make, but... I'm not that considerate about what I do. I do whatever is in my head and how it ends up tends to be the thing that it's supposed to be. It was never a premeditated decision.
James Vincent McMorrow
Hip-hop has been the guiding light of my life as a musician and a music fan. It's the one common thread through all of it from the time I bought my first record probably. It's always been there.
James Vincent McMorrow
I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.
James Vincent McMorrow
When I started out making music I thought it was about thrills and adding layers, but I realized I want to focus on saying the most with the least.
James Vincent McMorrow
It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
James Vincent McMorrow
Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.
