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.

More quotes by Zachary Cole Smith
There are just some things that you can't deny.
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 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.
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
There's positive attention and there's negative attention - negative attention is easy, positive attention requires actual hard work.
Zachary Cole Smith
I went with Beach Fossils and we played 40 shows because we wanted people to see us.

Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
Zachary Cole Smith
It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.
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
All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.
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 feel like every great record is like a world in itself.
Zachary Cole Smith
I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.
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
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
[YSL creative director] Hedi [Slimane] is a music-obsessed guy. I might've originally met him through Sky.
Zachary Cole Smith
The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more me.
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.
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
It's this funny thing now: You sign up to be a musician because you want to write music, but you don't spend your time writing music. Instead, you go around the world selling the music you've already made.
