More quotes by Jarvis Cocker
But I've got ideas. I keep my little notebook, I've always got that with me. Hopefully there's more stuff than nonsense in there.
Jarvis Cocker
The best thing you can give someone is the freedom to make their own mind up - and then, if it's not working out 5 years later, you can give your opinion.
Jarvis Cocker
The things in my songs are the edited highlights of my life. I don't go seeking out strange sexual experiences every day of the week.
Jarvis Cocker
The working class has been turned into a consuming class - a situation has been created where people value their worth by what they can afford.
Jarvis Cocker
I'm a sluggish character I'm a bit slow. For some reason I find it hard to work quickly.
Jarvis Cocker
The thing with Disney songs is they're very manipulative, very sentimental, but they do get you, you know - there's a kind of sadness to them and that kind of music doesn't really exist any more.
Jarvis Cocker
My basic position is that the more mixed the society and the more mobility there is in it, the better. That's what makes things interesting. When you get a homogenous society, it's very, very dull, whether that's all working class or all upper class, because everybody thinks the same, everybody looks the same.
Jarvis Cocker
You don't often hear people say, 'Oh, since he's been taking them drugs, he's such a nice person! He's really come out of his shell, he's really nice, he's blossomed'.
Jarvis Cocker
You can do anything when you're famous. That's why famous people are so dumb.
Jarvis Cocker
Money isn't important, but you have to have enough, so you don't have to think about it. Thinking about money is a drag.
Jarvis Cocker
I always feel like there are specific things about Houston. There's one museum in particular in Houston. So many of the things that I'm interested in now I can sort of trace back to that museum, which introduced me to them.
Jarvis Cocker
Pulp existed for 12 years before we got famous. Now, you could say that was just lack of imagination, but it's some kind of quality isn't it? Tenacity. You could also say it was sloth.
Jarvis Cocker
Pornography takes all the reality out of sex and Disney does that to family life.
Jarvis Cocker
We live in an age where people are kind of a bit obsessed with celebrity and stuff. You can't help but be curious about it.
Jarvis Cocker
Culture shouldn't be a pacifying thing. It shouldn't be something that you just passively accept. I think it should be something that, in some ways, is quite disruptive - makes you think and question things, and actually sparks debate.
Jarvis Cocker
Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
Jarvis Cocker
I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.
Jarvis Cocker
I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where I'm from. I wouldn't move back there, but it's funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way.
Jarvis Cocker
There isn't much I find interesting to write about in middle-class life.
Jarvis Cocker
I'd never really wanted to have a really 'private' life before. But when somebody starts delving into it and printing details through the tabloids for shagging people you shouldn't have shagged, then that probably made me shy away a bit more from giving too much away.
