More quotes by 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 guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
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
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
Tabloids invoke freedom of speech, but they're not interested in that, they're just interested in who's shagging whom, who's got drunk. And if you take that pretend, faux moral standpoint, you end up with people in public life being completely boring. Like they've had their genitals removed.
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
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
If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.
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
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
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
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
A Conservative government is necessary. There is no credible alternative.
Jarvis Cocker
Don't think that the things around you don't count, because they do.
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
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
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
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
Its OK to grow up, just as long as you don't grow old. Face it you are young.
Jarvis Cocker
I'm a sluggish character I'm a bit slow. For some reason I find it hard to work quickly.
Jarvis Cocker
