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.

More quotes by Stephen Malkmus
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
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
Things tends to often [consolidate] like Disney. It's the same with music. There's Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and Patti Smith. There's these three people that everyone seems to agree on. No matter what they like, they seem to like those three.
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
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 thought The Doors were the greatest band for a while.
Stephen Malkmus
Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people.
Stephen Malkmus
I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.
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 never decided to start singing, to be a singer.
Stephen Malkmus
I still hate [the Eagles]…. There’s levels of evil in it to me.
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
We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.
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
What we're doing now, it's usually more based on records that I've bought or a projection of what I can do well now and the inner dynamics of playing with the people I'm playing with, Janet Weiss and Joanna Bolme, what we come up with. What works for us doesn't, like, have that much relation to the past.
Stephen Malkmus
We [ Paverment] were definitely unafraid of playing wrong notes and singing wrong things. We could be fearlessly bad!
Stephen Malkmus
I'm not dying for things to say.
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
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.
