People are going to be way more patient listening to what I have to say now. I don't have five seconds to get their attention, I have five minutes. That's a huge window.
Zachary Cole Smith
Somebody who knows all about how to make the record, or how to make records, they know how to work the EQ and they know how to work the stuff, but they don't know what I want it to sound like. So it's just easier for me to do it myself.
Zachary Cole Smith
I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.
Zachary Cole Smith
There's positive attention and there's negative attention - negative attention is easy, positive attention requires actual hard work.
Zachary Cole Smith
Music is an opportunity to say every single thing that you want to say. People will pore over whatever you say and however you say it and, for me, it represents complete freedom of speech.
Zachary Cole Smith
I'm like part of the Kurt Cobain school of writing lyrics, which is the syntax of the words is more important than... is where it all comes from.
Zachary Cole Smith
Three years between records is longer than average. Double albums are much more of a statement. I really wanted to put myself out there as much as I possibly could.
Zachary Cole Smith
For me, it's always been important to have the live band be one thing, and the recorded band be kind of another thing.
Zachary Cole Smith
I think that when people download the record they're kind of missing out on part of the experience, because it's really meant to be an immersive experience.
Zachary Cole Smith
I guess I do feel the need to repent. I do feel like I owe the world a great album. I don't know why I feel that way. I just do.
Zachary Cole Smith
Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
Zachary Cole Smith
Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

I grew up around fashion - my mom was an editor for Vogue. Compared to the music industry, though, I'd say [fashion] is a little bit more disorganized. But it's exciting for me because, when you're a performer, there is a fashion element.

Drugs are fine for you alone at home, but when it comes to being a family, which a band is, it just messes everything up.
Zachary Cole Smith
It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.
Zachary Cole Smith
It's totally true: Ariel, Christopher Owens, me, and Courtney Love, all in Saint Laurent ads, all with the same haircut.
Zachary Cole Smith
I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.
Zachary Cole Smith
My mom worked at [American] Vogue before I was born. She has always been fashion-minded. I grew up with original Yves Saint Laurent sketches on the wall in our house. A lot of that rubbed off on me.
Zachary Cole Smith
I wouldn't say music is my passion, or my calling, or anything like that. I mean, I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. Life is a series of chance happenings, so I just fell into it.
Zachary Cole Smith
I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people, because I don't think that anybody knows anything about me at all. There's not much out there. I think I'm going to come out with a pretty dark and troubled record, and it might upset some people.
