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.

More quotes by Ryan Adams
Some people want to go forever, I just want to burn off hard and bright.
Ryan Adams
I was a nervous young man. I wanted to do so many things. And I was so enthusiastic and earnestly in love with so many things that I tried too hard. I tried really, really hard. And I made a lot of mistakes. I was afraid of a lot of stuff. And I kind of feel bad for that person I was.
Ryan Adams
Do you remember stormy winter?Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon
Ryan Adams
It was never my first choice to be a singer/guitar player. I really wanted to play drums.
Ryan Adams
Forever only takes its toll on some
Ryan Adams
I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.
Ryan Adams
I was never much of a bass player.
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
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
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
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
Can you still have any famous last words if you're somebody nobody knows?
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
To conceive music, to execute it in front of others, to make it so others can do it...it can be pretty humbling, and kind of scary. So yeah, I don't really feel in competition with anybody. Not because I feel elitist, but because I have enough self-competition. I'm always struggling.
Ryan Adams
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.
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
I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.
Ryan Adams
I'm a pretty bad troubadour. I'm more of a music fan who got away with making records.
Ryan Adams
Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it.
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.
