Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.

More quotes by Nick Lowe
I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.
Nick Lowe
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
Nick Lowe
I'm an extremely slow worker, very unprolific. It can take me weeks to do a three-minute song, or at least to make it sound, in my mind, like I haven't written it. That's when I'm satisfied.
Nick Lowe
Be a military flier or be in a band those were the two hippest things I could imagine.
Nick Lowe
I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.
Nick Lowe
I suppose I was waiting until I was old enough to have some sort of experience to sing about. When you're young, it's hard to sing the blues. Nobody believes you.
Nick Lowe
But anyway, I was convinced that it would go away, you know. But the idea was that he was sitting on a flight - you know, one of those sort of fairly long flights, like, sort of, you know, Newark to Denver or something like that - so, you know, a few hours.
Nick Lowe
If a hit came along, I wouldn't be unhappy about that. But I'm a bit too old for that now-doing videos and all those types of TV shows. I've kind of done all that, in the '70s.
Nick Lowe
I felt that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to do certain things, and one of them was to have a hit in my own right. At least one.
Nick Lowe
You want to sing this song. And so it goes on until eventually, after - well, however long it can take - sometimes a few days, sometimes months - you piece the whole thing together.
Nick Lowe
I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
Nick Lowe
Cruel to be kind means that I love you.
Nick Lowe
A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.
Nick Lowe
It's like a little folk song. I think it might've been Harry Belafonte or someone like that who did it. And Merry Christmas, Everybody by Slade, which is a rock group - a rock-pop group who are very big over there.
Nick Lowe
I mean, the way I'm talking, it sounds like I'm - you know, I'm about to go out and sign up for the nearest seminary, and you'll never see or hear from me again. But it's a hard thing to talk about really 'cause I'm not at all sure myself about it. But I've got a very, very simple sort of outlook to it. Yeah, that's all I can say, really.
Nick Lowe
My latest theory is that it's - well, I describe it as, like, being in an apartment with kind of thin walls. And in the apartment next door, they've got a radio tuned constantly on - tuned to a really cool radio station. It's on all the time. And you can just hear it coming through the wall all the time.
Nick Lowe
When I find a cover song that I like, I'll work away at it until I kind of believe that I wrote it.
Nick Lowe
The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.
Nick Lowe
There's really never any sort of master plan. I find if I've got a couple of tunes that I think are possibilities, I phone everyone up and get them into the studio and we'll have a go at recording them.
Nick Lowe
To a certain extent, yes, we do. But there's - but there's a very limited menu. There's only about sort of 20 songs that you hear on rotation.
