More quotes by Reggie Watts
I've been taking pictures of wherever I go, or on planes, whatever.
Reggie Watts
I always did music, but music is an easier thing for me. Making videos and doing comedy things was more of a challenge, so I was more interested in that. Music is a little bit more automatic.
Reggie Watts
I usually just say I'm a stand-up comedian, but I use looping machines to create ideas with my voice.
Reggie Watts
There are three different modes: playing piano, just me at the microphone, and me at my effects units. And I can mix those up in different ways.
Reggie Watts
If you pay attention to the world, it’s an amazing place. If you don’t, it’s whatever you think it is.
Reggie Watts
When I'm at the piano, and I'm improvising some song about something, it usually oscillates between factual, absurd, and sincere.
Reggie Watts
Not necessarily in the beginning, thinking I would have a career in comedy, but I was always interested in making people laugh.
Reggie Watts
I'm not into looking crisp. That's not how I dress or who I am.
Reggie Watts
Whatever encourages people to become more interested in who they are and discovering who they are, as opposed to just accepting what people or things are saying what they are. That's fascinating to me.

In general, I'm in support of promoting art and science in public schools. I think music and science are probably the most important factors for the human brain developing. Even more so than any other fields, because music covers mathematics, cognitive reasoning, motor skills, coordination, like, it's kind of everything.
Reggie Watts
The most important thing is to keep creating and following my inklings as they come into being and acting on them.
Reggie Watts
A lot of times, in music especially, it's producers making a political decision.
Reggie Watts
I guess, in a way, I grew up mixed race: half white, half black. That question's always been on my mind: 'What are you? Are you this or that? Are you a white dude or are you a black dude?' In a strange way, music and comedy is kind of the same thing. I'm both.They're just different modes of expression.
Reggie Watts
I was in punk rock bands, heavy metal bands, world music bands, jazz groups, any type of music that would take me. I just love music.
Reggie Watts
Im pretty lazy when it comes to creativity. I just want it to be easy and fun.
Reggie Watts
I've always wanted to do a Shakespearean soliloquy, or a fake Shakespearean soliloquy, and now I'm doing that more often in shows. Things I've always wanted to do starting to happen.
Reggie Watts
I always composed music as a little kid.
Reggie Watts
In the past, I was definitely more apt to storing pain away and not worrying about it. But as I get older, it's really about figuring out how to process it, how to feel it, and then also how to use it in my art.
Reggie Watts
I consider myself something of a self-taught anthropologist.
Reggie Watts
One of my favorite things is acting like a speaker or a professor or a CEO of a company and addressing the audience like a group of engineers or designers or marketers.
