More quotes by 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
I was never much of a bass player.
Ryan Adams
Is it possible to love someone too much? You bet.
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
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
Do you remember stormy winter?Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon
Ryan Adams
Forever only takes its toll on some
Ryan Adams
When I start working on a batch of tunes - like roughly 10 solid tunes - I always know there'll be another 10 to follow, because for every song I invest a lot of time in, there's another song waiting behind it.
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
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.
Ryan Adams
Rock records. It's the main source of inspiration for people - fans, or musicians, or both - to act out in ways that they wouldn't normally act out. Especially rock critics. Ultimately, records don't really hurt anybody, and neither do reviews.
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
It's hard to be bipolar and bicoastal at the same time.
Ryan Adams
A lot of my songs, they're like puzzle pieces, and there's just one way to put them together. You could, if you needed to, get the scissors out and cut up things to make them work. But I don't want to do that.
Ryan Adams
I'm a big music fan outside of the music I make.
Ryan Adams
I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.
Ryan Adams
I'm a pretty bad troubadour. I'm more of a music fan who got away with making records.
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
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.
