I have that language and that set of skills to step out of the way and make music the priority.
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
When I'm at the piano, and I'm improvising some song about something, it usually oscillates between factual, absurd, and sincere.
Reggie Watts
You can either just have fun with the joke or you can have fun with the joke and think about the implication of it. It's totally up to the listener.
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 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
Feel not as though it is a sphere we live on. Rather, an infinite plane which has the illusion of leading yourself back to the point of origin.
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.
Reggie Watts
I guess I'm interested in people and society and what we do collectively in the realm of decisions that shape our world. You know, at least on a human level.
Reggie Watts
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
I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for like two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had.
Reggie Watts
I'm always trying to see things from different peoples' perspectives, to understand why they love something.
Reggie Watts
I always composed music as a little kid.
Reggie Watts
In the absence of truth there is confusion, the essence of truth.
Reggie Watts
Everyone speaks stupid.
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
It's hard to move on when you can see too many good possibilities or any kind of possibility really. That's something that always kind of slows me down and can be a bad place to be in.
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.
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
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.
