I’m romantically inclined. No human being on Earth is not attracted to other people. There is no fairy tale that they only have eyes for you. You just choose to act on it or not.

BEN FOLDSMy job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that’s the right song to not fight the lyric.

BEN FOLDSOff the coast and I’m headed nowhere
BEN FOLDSEven though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that’s when I get to go home.

BEN FOLDSIt’s a tough thing to know that when you’re making your album, you’re going to end up collaborating with, say, Wal-Mart, on your artwork. That just sucks. And the pressure behind getting the numbers real fast is, to me, dizzying.
BEN FOLDSThere is still some art in pop music. But it can’t happen if you’re not inspired.
BEN FOLDSPeople learn at the rate they are going to learn.
BEN FOLDSNow that I have found someone, I’m feeling more alone… than I ever have before.
BEN FOLDSBilly Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.
BEN FOLDSI do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it’s usually because you’re just not coming to grips with something.
BEN FOLDSI think people use temp music quite a bit, but the people who write the temp music don’t ever really learn that their music was inspiring a movie.
BEN FOLDSI always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can’t make myself finish something unless I am forced
BEN FOLDSI love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.
