I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I… I’m ready.
Elliott Smith – Strange Parallel
I really think that all relationships that are beautiful and lasting are a struggle. I think when things are too easy, it’s harder to appreciate the beauty, and it’s the same thing with the guitar. I mean, they’re also this inanimate object that I take on stage. It’s just a tool in one sense, but I’m trying to make friends with it, and I struggle with it. I really need to sort of identify with it as a sort of personality at the same time.

I don’t like the word collaboration. It makes me think of some silly compilation tribute album for sale at a bookstore.

As a songwriter, it’s really dangerous to use the word love in a song. It’s a word that has been used in songs so many millions of times before, and it’s the most popular topic to ever write about.
Jack White
I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself – you know, love interrupts itself… We want things so much that we sabotage them.
Jack White
It’s quite autobiographical. It talks about relationships. The last record was naive because we were. At that point, we would have done anything to succeed. And it’s easy to get distracted and surround yourself with toys. But I wanted to get back to a sense of normality. I needed that sense of reality.
Darren Hayes
The more rewarding part of doing a solo record for me was having more control in the studio.

I don’t feel like I’ve re-invented myself, I feel like I’ve re-discovered who I was.

I’ve had a great day today. I flew for thirteen hours and I somehow didn’t watch t.v. the whole time. I didn’t notice until I was off the plane. I wonder what I was thinking about. I’m one of those people that you have to keep your eye on or I’ll wander off into the woods and forget to come back.

Technology is a big destroyer of emotion and truth. Auto-tuning doesn’t do anything for creativity. Yeah, it makes it easier and you can get home sooner; but it doesn’t make you a more creative person. That’s the disease we have to fight in any creative field: ease of use.
