More quotes by 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
Despite my own doubts of being marketable or crushworthy, my goal was to write a record of peppy pop songs, hopefully without annoying anybody.
Stephen Malkmus
The word down, is very musical. It just always comes.
Stephen Malkmus
I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.
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
I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

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.
Stephen Malkmus
Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people.
Stephen Malkmus
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.
Stephen Malkmus
A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique.
Stephen Malkmus
Like the song Stereo, to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.
Stephen Malkmus
I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not dying for everyone to hear everything we do. Forty minutes every two years is sensible.
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not dying for things to say.
Stephen Malkmus
Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.
Stephen Malkmus
When a band means a lot to you, you build the fantasy more than the reality. Always.
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.
