Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.

Image
I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.

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.

Image
That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.
Stephen Malkmus
Image
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.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

Image
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.

George Oppen wasn't a larger than life personality, but I'm not either. And he lived a long time, so he was happy. Going down in flames is fine, too.

Image
I'm not dying for things to say.

I'm thinking, I'm singing like Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't sound like him enough, ever.

Image
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

Some people, they've had a lot of fun, even if it was dumb fun and a shitty body of work.

Image
Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.
Stephen Malkmus
Image
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.

I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

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.
