I don't write my music for Sony. I write it for the people who are screaming down the road crying to a full-blast stereo.

Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.

I don't want my reputation to take me over, I just want to be judged on my songs. I want people to come and see me because they want to, not because fashion dictates it.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley

Be seriously involved with growing, with your own development, and never fear. Be the kind of person who is naturally powerful, positive, ingenious, open, to the highest degree. Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality.

Above all do not give yourself airs. Breaking the moment of past habits is the challenge here: In the life of the spirit you are always at the beginning.

Sensitivity isn't about being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom

Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.

If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.

Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.

I just want to be a guy with a guitar.

I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.
Jeff Buckley

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.
Jeff Buckley

My favorite kind of music is the stuff that stops time. You put something on to sit there and let an experience go through you. To look at yourself clearly through a song. It's true of all art, all mediums, but for some reason music has a direct line straight into people.

Kiss me out of desire, but not consolation.

I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur-- he needs to drive himself.

Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.

In love we are all brothers and sisters

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
