This is going to sound crazy, but I can hear music in my head. I can imagine a piano or a guitar playing, and I can sort of think out.

They don't make coats for this kind of cold
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
When You're young, you get sad, and you get high.
Ryan Adams
On Heartbreaker, I had to sing those songs. I drank the way I did those songs. I ate the way I did those songs. I communicated the way I did those songs.
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
Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it.
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
I was never much of a bass player.
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
I want to make sure I'm with a girl that's a good kisser, and that when I wake up, I have coffee and a cigarette. That's all I really want out of life. That, and world domination.
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
A lot of the songs I write are like songs that I've never been able to find on any record, but that I've always wanted to hear. Or maybe in a style I already loved, but I was looking for something in it that I wasn't hearing yet.
Ryan Adams
I think that music, or at least the kind of music that I make, benefits greatly from improvisation.
Ryan Adams
You can imagine several scenes from Star Wars? The way they looked? For me, that's how music is. Sometimes I'll be developing riffs for songs, just while I'm sitting around and not playing.
Ryan Adams
I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say, 'Hey, this is who I am.'
Ryan Adams
I can sort of will that stuff to happen to me if I put myself in the right headspace. Then I can actually get to a space where it won't just be one song that comes through, but a series of them.
Ryan Adams
Not to discount my music, but I'm always suspicious of the music that I make on some level, as to how valid it is. Or maybe not valid, but how important.
Ryan Adams
Is it possible to love someone too much? You bet.
Ryan Adams
The good thing about playing the guitar: You can take on different kinds of music. I'm always doing something different from the last thing I did because I have the shortest attention span on earth.
