More quotes by 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
I've tried to be clear about who I am, and be as open as possible with the press, and speak extremely candidly and openly about stuff. I feel like in almost every instance, it's completely backfired, and I feel like people have all these kind of absurd ideas about the way I think about myself, and my own self-identity.
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.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

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

When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

It's not like I had a breakdown, though it kind of felt like it at the time. I agreed to everything that happened. You can't really be at work and be like, That's it. I've had too much. I'm going home.

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.

It's pretty easy to lose money on tour - most bands do on their first couple of tours. We're more established, but I think it was just poorly booked. It was a mess from the get-go.

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.
Zachary Cole Smith
There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
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
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 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 was raised by all women. I had no men in my life it was my mom, my sister, and my grandmother. I've never identified as a man. I've always either felt like a boy or something else. I feel really uncomfortable thinking that, technically, I'm supposed to be a man, because I don't feel like one.

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
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
Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.
