I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.

More quotes by Stephen Malkmus
Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.
Stephen Malkmus
You don't realize that when you're young, and you're surprised there's a lot of people at your gig - you just think it's general British-press hype.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not dying for things to say.
Stephen Malkmus
The best I do, if I'm just playing around and riffing in a fantasy world, and then I'll write something down. Hopefully I write it down.
Stephen Malkmus
I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.
Stephen Malkmus
Some people, they've had a lot of fun, even if it was dumb fun and a shitty body of work.
Stephen Malkmus
It's sort of irritating now - people always ask me, You're a dad, and how's fatherhood? If Bob Dylan or Neil Young had a kid, it didn't seem like it made them a different person. It didn't make you old right away.
Stephen Malkmus
I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.
Stephen Malkmus
I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.
Stephen Malkmus
I would just imagine there's a criticism for just about everything, if you want to take something down. No one's invincible. The Jicks are a work in progress and we don't think everything we do is the bee's knees or something, we're just trying our best to get turned on by what we're doing.
Stephen Malkmus
It's easy to be negatively funny about personalities in the media. It's just kind of a cheap laugh.
Stephen Malkmus
We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive.
Stephen Malkmus
The narrative songs were well-written, like an article in The New Yorker. They're nice and pat. They're more like I'm just showing I can do that when I write a song like that. It's not my true calling.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm thinking, I'm singing like Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't sound like him enough, ever.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I would just make home recordings and play them for myself. And that's not really healthy.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher.
Stephen Malkmus
I just imagine that every song in and of itself is great, but when you add them all up, it's too much of me maybe.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm better when I'm an autodidact and things just come. Or you're just blessed. I'm not bragging or anything, it just comes to you.
Stephen Malkmus
Maybe I don't have the patience to make a virtue of necessity - the patience to carry something all the way through, and to actually say something. Lately, the songs are more jagged and they don't really lend themselves to that. I just take it one bit at a time.
Stephen Malkmus
Оur music, it's an acquired taste. It's almost cult, even at our level. It can mean nothing to somebody and it can mean everything to somebody else.
