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.

More quotes by Jarvis Cocker
I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
Jarvis Cocker
Well, once you've resigned yourself to the fact that you are the more mature pop performer and you're past the age you ever thought you would do it, you might as well do it as long as you can. As long as I can still lift a microphone, then I'll do it, you know.
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
In a song you can kind of stage-manage everything so that it puts you in a good light. And once a song is recorded, it always performs well.
Jarvis Cocker
Hollywood is called Hollywood, but holly doesn't grow there. Right from the start it's based on a lie. But it's a very seductive lie, and we're still entranced by it.
Jarvis Cocker
I speak onstage to try to establish some method of communication. The songs are supposed to be a way of communicating. But speech and drinks and sometimes chocolates are also a way of communicating.
Jarvis Cocker
Noise is an easy thing to hide behind. If you make a lot of noise and shout behind that, nobody can tell what you're singing.
Jarvis Cocker
I am proud, and more than a little excited, to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.
Jarvis Cocker
I think life is more interesting when everybody's jumbled up together. When people separate out into cliques and things, it's okay, but it's a bit limiting. You can always learn things from other people. This is my theory.
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
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
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
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
Anyone who thinks they're sexy needs their head checked.
Jarvis Cocker
I believe that humans adapt to circumstance. The Internet is quite an unprecedented circumstance, so it's going to take people a while to get their heads around it.
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 know that some filmmakers strive for a kind of naturalistic approach, but you're never going to capture something that's really natural - just the simple fact that you choose to put a frame around something means that you've already chosen one particular thing to put more attention on.
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
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
