More quotes by Zachary Cole Smith
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.
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
All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.
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
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
Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
Zachary Cole Smith
A record is worth 10,000 live shows.
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
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
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'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.
Zachary Cole Smith
Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.
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
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
When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.
Zachary Cole Smith
It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.
Zachary Cole Smith
I spent my life working before I started band. I worked construction, landscaping. I worked in kitchens, cleaned dishes. I worked demolition.
Zachary Cole Smith
The music starts as being way separate from the lyrics, and I write - I have notebooks that I fill with drawings and just words, and stuff that I've written.
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.
