Kayfabe is kind of a code. To break kayfabe is to let people know that the punch was not real and that the match was scripted.
John Darnielle
Giving up and doing something else (nursing, for me) was exactly what eventually led me to making music that other people wanted to hear.

In wrestling, people just throw each other around, possibly actually bleed, and are still friends in the locker room afterwards. But there's a real glee - a feeling goes up in the arena, especially on non-TV days. If it's just people in a room and somebody starts to bleed, that's very exciting.

John Darnielle
Literature is a mystical place for me. It's not dry. It's where miracles happen.
John Darnielle
There are real teachers out there I don't pretend to have their mantle.
John Darnielle
I usually kind of can't wait until my records leak. Back in the day, you could give people tapes, but you can't do that anymore, because it would be available to everyone on the planet within an hour.
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
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
People say friends don't destroy one another. What do they know about friends?
John Darnielle
It's hard to stay positive when there's a lot of evil in the world.
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
You can get into anything if you are determined. I always thought that with music, too.
John Darnielle
It's hard always to say what it is one likes about a place, for me. I feel it.
John Darnielle
I'm not really a goal-oriented guy. I started doing the Mountain Goats just for the sheer hell of it.
