More quotes by Stephen Malkmus

My wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful. If I'm dismissive of what we do sometimes, a little bit, she's like, I was a fan, you changed my life, or whatever. That's what she says.

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
Image
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.

I thought The Doors were the greatest band for a while.

The word down, is very musical. It just always comes.

I'm not dying for everyone to hear everything we do. Forty minutes every two years is sensible.

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

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.

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

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

Well, you know, it's a younger person, and it was maybe an effort to be a little more sincere and adult about the lyrics occasionally, which is a good thing. It's nice that it's not too self-conscious like some of our lyrics could be.

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.

I've been getting plenty off my chest. Sometimes I get too much off my chest and I regret it.

The earlier stuff is more like this is happening to me, but now there are more songs that are accusatory or something, or more declaratory. I don't know where that voice comes from, like, I've been down the road, we've been there and done that. That's sort of like a tougher style, or a less vulnerable style.

It's easy to be negatively funny about personalities in the media. It's just kind of a cheap laugh.

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

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.

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.

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.
