More quotes by Justin Vernon
Hopefully, most days, you're like, This is sweet. I wake up and do the things that I do and I'm usually smiling. That's how my dad is with his job.
Justin Vernon
I could be worried about it if I had the wrong attitude. I don't think that I want my life and my daily occurrences to influence the direction. I don't want my daily life or my happiness to be a direct influence on music or my sadness.
Justin Vernon
It was all the things I wanted my music to be, but yet it wasn't grand and it wasn't obtuse - it wasn't overshooting, it wasn't undershooting, it was precise. The lyrics and the way that I was able to extract and excavate emotion within me.
Justin Vernon
I do think that our culture or our psyche as a country I guess, the world or whatever, we're due for a huge event. We're due for a little bit of a revolution or a spotlight or a movement. Something that feels large, something that feels like the 60s. Some sort of unification.
Justin Vernon
We got in after a ten hour drive after sleeping for four hours. I'm not complaining here. I'm really not complaining. Ten hour drive to get here, we unload, we sound check, we get here we take photos, we do this. I haven't eaten anything today. It's like... And I'm not even hungry.
Justin Vernon
The songs started as a soundscapes, and then came the words and music each song took at least a year to make.
Justin Vernon
As a fan of Kanye West, working with him is insane.
Justin Vernon
Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not.
Justin Vernon
There's that whole thing that happens in relationships - you can love someone but, as soon as they stop loving you so unconditionally that they stop being themselves, it can be so dangerous.
Justin Vernon
I'm trying to think about stuff like that: How can a show not be just a whining guy with a guitar.
Justin Vernon
I'd have to think about it, but I was listening to this Johnny Cash song today that Tom Waits wrote for him - I think that's the story. For some reason it's a thing that sticks in my brain. He's describing this scene where he sees all these almost biblical images happening kind of in this burrow where this biblical train runs through this yard.
Justin Vernon
People gather details and comparisons but it doesn't really bother me or land on me of any sort. I don't know if I was... Maybe I was influenced by them, maybe I wasn't, but I don't know. I was probably influenced by everything I've heard. So it doesn't bother me at all, but it doesn't sway me either.
Justin Vernon
My favorite idea is doing an all-night tent show starring my friend's band Marijuana Deathsquads, where everyone would wear super-loud headphones, and there would be tons of subs and lights. It'd be really dope.
Justin Vernon
You should be able to have happiness. If you don't have that, then you're not really bringing your whole self to the relationship.
Justin Vernon
It makes sense that that's part of the story and everything, but that's part of any story of any record - where was it record and how long and what were the people doing. I think people want to know where these events are made. That's why I like the word record.
Justin Vernon
No matter how much you care about a person, you have to be able to know that you can sit down at night and be happy with who you are without that person. That's really hard when you're a lonely emo kid.
Justin Vernon
You never have to change your scene because you're always comfortable with evolving.
Justin Vernon
The amount of people that I feel like... I'm not being self-demeaning, but I actually feel like I'm not as cool as them, you know what I mean?
Justin Vernon
A lot of people change their band names because they're looking for a change of atmosphere.
Justin Vernon
I am generalizing, of course, but in hip-hop, it's like you get this shine for using the word pussy a billion times, and I think that that's weirdly healthier than not doing it at all - even though I really hope it ends soon because, you know, how many decades can we do that?
