More quotes by 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
I make up stories that take place in real space with real people. If I could convert this into a technique for experimental novels, I might really be onto something.
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 fact that somebody's telling you a story about people who didn't exist doesn't make the experience of the story any less real in your heart and mind.

John Darnielle
Literature is a mystical place for me. It's not dry. It's where miracles happen.
John Darnielle
This is the funny thing about me. People think John just comes up with all the ideas. I'm honored. People think I have a big old brain, but actually I am the sum of the people I work with.
John Darnielle
The South actually has a very strong tradition of activism. The civil rights movement came from down here! It was black activists demanding that their voices be heard. People say these are red states. No they're not!
John Darnielle
I'm so disconnected from an indie-rock community that I am the hermit people used to guess I was.
John Darnielle
Life is hard, you're tired, and there's disease. The strategy that works for children is to be delighted by the things that delight you.
John Darnielle
I'll keep making records until I don't have more ideas for records.
John Darnielle
I enjoy hearing people who are good at their instruments and who've found a distinctive voice.
