John Darnielle
For me, moving is always a big opportunity. Its just a enough of a shift in outlook that every time I move, it seems to open something up.
John Darnielle
Take dance music: I like enough of it and its history to be able to say a word or two about this or that record, but I'm nobody's authority.
John Darnielle
Gender relations are a sad story of men talking trash about women all over the world.
John Darnielle
It's impossible to be content all the time - you have to learn to be content in places where you're unhappy and owning your emotions, whatever they are.

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
I couldn't name more than a couple of good drum'n'bass acts, and I have no idea what's big in the dance world right now.
John Darnielle
You can get into anything if you are determined. I always thought that with music, too.
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 seem to get the best work when I'm angry and depressed and alienated.
John Darnielle
Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive.
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
I'll keep making records until I don't have more ideas for records.
John Darnielle
Human beings are selfish by nature. Everything that happens to a child, you immediately grab your own child and say, I will never let that happen to you.
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.
