More quotes by Ryan Adams
I think that we live in a time where it's easier to be suspicious of dedicated men and women, people dedicated to their craft, because the world around them inspires them to be lazy. It inspires them to be negative. It inspires them to be snarky.
Ryan Adams
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
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 think that music, or at least the kind of music that I make, benefits greatly from improvisation.
Ryan Adams
I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.
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
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
Do you remember stormy winter?Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon
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 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
I'm a pretty bad troubadour. I'm more of a music fan who got away with making records.
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
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 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
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
Some people want to go forever, I just want to burn off hard and bright.
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
Is it possible to love someone too much? You bet.
Ryan Adams
I use to be panicked, but know I'm curious!
