More quotes by 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
They don't make coats for this kind of cold
Ryan Adams
Some people want to go forever, I just want to burn off hard and bright.
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
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
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 was never my first choice to be a singer/guitar player. I really wanted to play drums.
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.
Ryan Adams
I use to be panicked, but know I'm curious!
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
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
It's hard to be bipolar and bicoastal at the same time.
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
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
I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.
Ryan Adams
I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.
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
Can you still have any famous last words if you're somebody nobody knows?
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.

Do you remember stormy winter?Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon
