More quotes by Jarvis Cocker
If you're in a band or think of yourself as a slightly creative person, you can get quite self-indulgent, so sometimes it's nice to have those people who bring you down to earth, but in a pleasant way.
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 guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
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
The main thing I don't like about myself is an absurd level of self-consciousness that makes any sort of social encounter an ordeal for me.
Jarvis Cocker
There isn't much I find interesting to write about in middle-class life.
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 always nervous when I perform anyway.
Jarvis Cocker
Part of why I started a band was due to feelings of shyness and social ineptitude. I saw it as some way of being able to interact with people from a safe distance.
Jarvis Cocker
As a shy kid growing up in Sheffield, I fantasized about how it would be great to be famous so I wouldn't actually have to talk to people and feel awkward. And of course, as we all know from fairy stories, when you achieve that ambition, you find out you don't want it.
Jarvis Cocker
You know when you're thinking about what you want to be when you grow up, or how you want your life to pan out. I couldn't imagine anything better than living in a hotel so you'd never have to worry about washing up, making the bed, anything like that, and having a servant to come in and play all your favourite TV programmes.
Jarvis Cocker
There seems to be a contradiction in the fact that there's more music around and more channels or downloading music or more channels on TV, and yet at the same time, in some ways it doesn't seem to be as vital as it once was. It seems to be just another entertainment option or lifestyle enhancement aid or something.
Jarvis Cocker
Every woman I've had a relationship with has found this maddening the fact that I will talk about anything on the stage, and reveal all this stuff, and yet when I'm at home, I clam up and won't discuss anything intimate or personal.
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
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
What people have to make sure of is that they're not replicating something that already exists. You really have to ask yourself: Is there a point in me doing this? Has this already been said before? Is this moving things along or is this just adding to the giant pile of junk that's already there?
Jarvis Cocker
Don't think that the things around you don't count, because they do.
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
It's funny how you can intensely investigate one very particular thing, and then it can lead you to other things through links and stuff like that. It's like you're going on this selective, very precise detour. But then it is strange because with it being so quick, there must be a difference.
Jarvis Cocker
I think that's what all art is for - for people to express what it is to be human. That's the purpose of it.
Jarvis Cocker
