More quotes by Stephen Malkmus
There's probably a certain confidence in your voice, or something, that is validated. You know what I mean? I'm just imagining if people didn't already say that you were cool, that you'd [have] more doubt in what you're doing. That's not so conscious, but that's part of my cosmology now.
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.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not dying for things to say.
Stephen Malkmus
When a band means a lot to you, you build the fantasy more than the reality. Always.
Stephen Malkmus
My wife is a big fan of George Oppen and I got into him. I could have a career like his. It's not an alpha male situation, George Oppen. It's quiet. It's poetry.He just lived a life of an intellectual poet.
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
It's just a compulsion to create something new and stay busy. I don't know how to do anything else. It was never exactly right. Those records came out in spite of their flaws. And because of their flaws they were good.
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
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
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.
Stephen Malkmus
It's normally in the morning, just playing around. And I'm not saying everything I make is great, but that's what I do. I can't even remember how I wrote stuff.
Stephen Malkmus
I know the world doesn't need maybe another of [a particular type of song] - the same thing again - but you can't help yourself. And some people like it, but you kind of know in your heart that it's a lesser version of what you've done before. But maybe it has a good tempo, or it feels fresh, but it's still not.
Stephen Malkmus
I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for.
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 never decided to start singing, to be a singer.
Stephen Malkmus
Something taken off the page can sound great, I guess. Usually it doesn't. It seems like lately Pitchfork is trying to champion lyric writers more.
Stephen Malkmus
I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.
Stephen Malkmus
So much of rock lyrics is just a mirror of real feeling. It doesn't feel dangerous to me. They just feel like rock lyrics.
Stephen Malkmus
I still hate [the Eagles]…. There’s levels of evil in it to me.
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.
