More quotes by 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.

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
Recovery culture teaches you that you have to repent. I don't think that's necessary.
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 feel like every great record is like a world in itself.
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
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
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.
Zachary Cole Smith
Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.
Zachary Cole Smith
I had these glorified ideas about San Francisco and its drug culture - I thought inspiration would just hit me and I would get these San Francisco drugs in my system and all of a sudden an amazing record would come out. But that's not really what happened at all.
Zachary Cole Smith
A record is worth 10,000 live shows.
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
I don't think fear necessarily is a core human emotion, but I do think fear of death is something that is at the core of every person's existence.

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
Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
Zachary Cole Smith
When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.
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.
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
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
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.
