Now that I have found someone, I’m feeling more alone… than I ever have before.
BEN FOLDSNow that I have found someone, I’m feeling more alone… than I ever have before.
BEN FOLDSRock and roll is – and should be – a kid’s place.
BEN FOLDSI’ve gotten to the point where I realize that I need to tell my truth in music and not walk around blabbing my mind.
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 FOLDSI have manic energy. What can be done about it? I don’t know what to say sometimes. I’m professional in public, but I like to stay inside and be a hermit.
BEN FOLDSI could probably live in Bali the rest of my life and completely live in the sticks and have a f – king moped and make a record every couple of years and not step in public and break even like I do anyway. That’s really tempting.
BEN FOLDSI’m not really a strange person or anything, so if there’s music I like, usually there’s other people who like it too.
BEN FOLDSI divorce myself from listeners who aren’t tolerant of humor. I did notice universally that, especially when it comes to weight, people look in the mirror and get the angle just right, tell themselves it’s all right, and then they go out.
BEN FOLDSIf you can’t draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
BEN FOLDSWhat stupid f – king idiot gets married a second time if the first time didn’t work out?
BEN FOLDSYou can’t really control how people hear stuff. It’s hard to remember that. I have to let go of it.
BEN FOLDSAnd all I really want to say is you’re the reason I want to stay.
BEN FOLDSI don’t leave my neighborhood. I don’t go anywhere. There are four blocks I live in and there are two coffee shops, one at each end of the block… so I don’t do much driving…
BEN FOLDSI’m definitely an anomaly, but I’m making things. They’re selling, say, martinis, and I’m kind of making vintage Riesling.
BEN FOLDSSome people would say they never see me because I don’t go anywhere. I stay in the blue state of Nashville, in my bubble.
BEN FOLDSOff the coast and I’m headed nowhere
