More quotes by Zachary Cole Smith
There's a lot of stuff that I've been through in my life in the past couple of months that I don't really want to share with people who are close to me, but I have no option if it's my art.
Zachary Cole Smith
Nobody really wanted to do that one European tour. For one, it was budgeted to lose money. They would've made something, but I would've lost a lot of money.
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 is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

What I wanted was just to make music, and so, originally I just wanted to hide behind the album cover of the last record, and I wanted it to be almost anonymous.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

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
All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

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
We were a commodity used by corporations to make their brand look fashionable, but then they used us to keep kids out of venues.
Zachary Cole Smith
I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.
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
To be told that you're the voice of your generation is such an incredible amount of pressure, and I haven't faced that. Maybe by the time our third record rolls around, I will. My goals are to be a band like that in five years. At the moment, though, I can't really relate in any sense to the scale that Kurt Cobain fame has reached.
Zachary Cole Smith
You can't show somebody what it's like to experience loss, but you can soundtrack it and help them experience their own loss. I am so lucky to have this venue to be able to say and talk about all the stuff I've been through.
Zachary Cole Smith
I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.
Zachary Cole Smith
Generally, I think people are just going through the motions now. There's so much stuff that people are doing today that has already been done. I kind of like that new Savages record, but I don't know why they take themselves so seriously.
Zachary Cole Smith
I've already had a hard time dealing with some of the trappings of success and turned to some pretty stereotypical escape routes - ways of escaping my own reality and falling into some pretty clichéd situations.
Zachary Cole Smith
I wanted to show a different side of ourselves. I wanted to see in what ways I could explore something new. I felt like working on a double record would give people a lot to have.
