Serj Tankian
Day is just a collection of hours.
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.

Serj Tankian
The living ideas of the dead are more powerful and effective than the dead ideas of the living.
Serj Tankian
To deny a genocide because of convenience and expediency having to do with an illegal war or occupation in Iraq to me, is double hypocritical.
Serj Tankian
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.
Serj Tankian
I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.
Serj Tankian
'Elect the Dead' is a rock record that takes you on a journey with different types of genres integrated, different lyrical themes digested, and many fun and colorful moments to enjoy.
Serj Tankian
Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.
Serj Tankian
What does civilization mean to you, and what would its ending bring to the world?

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
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
Sometimes it's better to have a benign dictator than a dumb democracy, to be honest.
