John Darnielle

John Darnielle
It usually happens that I have multiple different projects going on at once, and one can be referencing the other.
John Darnielle
I think it's a misconception that metal's about anger, obviously.
John Darnielle
My work is more important than I am. I'm just some guy.
John Darnielle
Anything that is within you is a gift. To be able to take possession of that and say, Whatever it is, I am bigger than it, is to learn to cherish even the hard and painful things.
John Darnielle
I'm kind of a hermit. Left to my own devices, I won't submerge myself in anything further afield than the driveway.
John Darnielle
A novel is a performance you have to plan.
