The process of making music is more interesting to me than the end result. If I was a cook, I'd be more interested in cooking food than eating food.

More quotes by Ryan Adams
There definitely isn't a structure anymore to how I get ideas. A lot of times I'll just write down a phrase, or I'll have an idea that's attached to just a few chords. Other times, it's work.
Ryan Adams
I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.
Ryan Adams
Do you remember stormy winter?Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon
Ryan Adams
Music is my thing. It's my thing it's what I love. It's what I do. It's football to me it's Christmas to me religion to me poetry to me.
Ryan Adams
I'm a pretty bad troubadour. I'm more of a music fan who got away with making records.
Ryan Adams
For me, a record is valid when I actually hold the vinyl. Like, I've worked on the art for a while and I see the vinyl and I go Ooh, it's an actual LP. How cool is that? That's very sacred to me. You can't take that back, you know?
Ryan Adams
I think it would be wrong to consider 'Ashes and Fire' a love album. The record is obsessed with time. I believe that there is a kinder view of the self on this record.
Ryan Adams
There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.
Ryan Adams
Forever only takes its toll on some
Ryan Adams
My intentions have been, and are always, to just really get behind what my ideas are musically and to just ride this thing out, cause it feels good, and I think for the most part it's good music. Even when it's not, I'd like to still search for something that could be even like a little bit mind-blowing or shocking to me.
Ryan Adams
It's like — I don't know, sometimes it's like chasing a pretty girl on the beach. And things I never thought I could do... I can do.
Ryan Adams
I no longer know the author of this book, for simply stopping long enough and writing it down was where I changed from a boy with his eyes squeezed shut to a man with his eyes wide open so that the sunlight might reach my heart despite all that darkness.
Ryan Adams
I was never much of a bass player.
Ryan Adams
Part of the joy of music is listening to lots of different kinds of music and learning from it. Specifically for me, I like writing songs that move me, and what moves me are beautiful songs on the piano or the guitar and really, really heavy music.
Ryan Adams
Some people want to go forever, I just want to burn off hard and bright.
Ryan Adams
I've gotten to a place where I still love to play and sing, but I don't have any ego agenda left, outside of just wanting to stay in a creative place and play music. I much prefer to sing for somebody else, and to somebody else.
Ryan Adams
I'm sort of planting Post-It notes all over my psyche. Do not skateboard wasted. Do not buy $10,000 rugs. Be careful what you say to journalists. You don't have to stay up until 7 A.M. - tomorrow is a new day.
Ryan Adams
It's hard to be bipolar and bicoastal at the same time.
Ryan Adams
When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.
Ryan Adams
Is it possible to love someone too much? You bet.
