More quotes by John Darnielle
I was 14 or 15 when I discovered poetry, and I pretty much stopped writing prose until Master of Reality.
John Darnielle
If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.
John Darnielle
Gender relations are a sad story of men talking trash about women all over the world.
John Darnielle
There are stylists I really love. I'm a huge Joan Didion fan - if I wrote something that she might like, then I'd feel very proud. I want the action to move as quickly as it does in A Book of Common Prayer, where one thing bonks right into another very quickly.
John Darnielle
Conservative forces in the South have a lot of power - almost dynastic - dating back many years.
John Darnielle
When I was a kid, I was a big science fiction fan, but current horror books were harder to get your hands on.
John Darnielle
It makes me envious of anybody who can say truly that they don't care what anybody thinks of what they do, because I care a lot about the people who like my stuff.
John Darnielle
People talk about songwriting or comedy as creative expression, but life is creative expression. Table-making, even nursing, is extraordinarily creative.
John Darnielle
In death metal, a lot of guys are Eddie Van Halen disciples, but they take his style to really expressionistic places. It's a real pleasure for me to hear people pushing their craft.
John Darnielle
There's this idea that there was a point in our childhood when we were in some way better than we are now and we should try to hang on to that.
John Darnielle
Over the past 40 years, the tradition of Southern progressivism has been somewhat successfully erased by right-wing revisionist historians.
John Darnielle
I start writing, pull whatever images happen to occur to me and make up a story, instead of starting with details that are real and I know of and going from there.
John Darnielle
I think I read too much Arthur Conan Doyle when I was young, and got this idea that a gentleman should know a lot about one thing and plenty about most everything else.
John Darnielle
It's hard always to say what it is one likes about a place, for me. I feel it.
John Darnielle
Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive.
John Darnielle
The process of touring is always so weird to me. Once you've made the album, that's over, you move along.
John Darnielle
There is something fierce and starved about first ideas.
John Darnielle
The moment where you know the thing you want is ridiculous and pompous and a terrible thing to want anyway. The direction in which you're headed is not the direction you want to go, yet you're going to head that way a while longer cause that's just the kind of person you are.
John Darnielle
The only people who are afraid of file sharing are the people whose albums are so dull presentation-wise that nobody cares about owning the actual finished product, and the people who have so little connection to their listeners that said listeners have no reason to care whether the artists they like are getting reimbursed for their efforts.
John Darnielle
The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.
