More quotes by 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
I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.
James Vincent McMorrow
Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.
James Vincent McMorrow
I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.
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
What we understand to be profoundness, or importance, it changes. It should change. It should be this moment where you cannot believe that equalled grandness or importance.

The hip-hop aesthetic and the way it's produced always motivated me. Alongside that I was still wanting to make great traditional songs because I've never had any desire to rap. My love of hip-hop is driven by my love of rappers, but it was built out of my love of producers.
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
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

James Vincent McMorrow
I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.
James Vincent McMorrow
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
James Vincent McMorrow
I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.
James Vincent McMorrow
I approach every show from the same fundamental perspective: this is a conversation, and my job is to make people leave the show feeling like they've seen something singular. It's not about smashing someone over the head from the jump-off.
James Vincent McMorrow
I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
James Vincent McMorrow
You play a couple of shows, and these label guys come - and they leave halfway through a show. Then the phone calls just stop. And your heart is broken.
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
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
I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
James Vincent McMorrow
I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.
