More quotes by Serj Tankian
Sometimes it's better to have a benign dictator than a dumb democracy, to be honest.
Serj Tankian
We [americans] self-regulate ourselves, we self-censor ourselves a lot in this country instead of having someone else censor us so we can blame them. That's not good, either.
Serj Tankian
As an artist, you never want to write the same song again, you always want to challenge yourself to writing in a different way.
Serj Tankian
I really feel like civilisation's already over. It's not ending but it's already done. We're all addicted to the concept that humanity equals civilisation and that's not the case. We need a global conversation to be able to decipher how we can live from this point forward. We have to redefine our relationship with our environment.
Serj Tankian
I've always thought of the sky as, like, an open canvas. When I was a kid and I looked at the sky, I always remember being able to daydream, just looking at the sky, being creative, being able to design things. What would happen if we had no sky? Where would we be? Well, obviously, scientifically, without an atmosphere, we'd all be dead.

It's probably a combination of personal and non-personal matters that have led us to where we are musically.
Serj Tankian
I hate injustice, and I can't help but speak against it. But I don't want to get involved in politics.

Harout Pamboukjian is one of the biggest Armenian folk singers in the world. In the '70s, he was making these records that were really Zeppelin-influenced.
Serj Tankian
Touring and putting out records is fun and cool, but I've been doing it for a long time.
Serj Tankian
What does civilization mean to you, and what would its ending bring to the world?
Serj Tankian
I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.
Serj Tankian
In America, there's more of the question, should music be political or should it just be for entertainment purposes, whereas around the world that's not even an issue. I think people just assume that music should be everything.
Serj Tankian
I like African music, and I'm a huge Ravi Shankar fan.
Serj Tankian
Day is just a collection of hours.
Serj Tankian
I think music has the ability to inspire people and to change hearts, and the heart has the power to change the mind, and the mind has the power to change the world.
Serj Tankian
Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

A lot of pop music is based on trying to make people remember it so that they'll buy it. To me, it was not about that.
