Talk to Arto Lindsay and I’m sure he’s tired of people asking him about DNA; he’s probably really into what he’s doing now, which is good stuff.

Bradford Cox

I like my solitude, and I’m a strong-willed person; I’m a very hard-to-be-around person sometimes, I guess.
BRADFORD COX

Solitude Sometimes Strong
Contrary to popular belief, maybe, I’m a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people. And I’m not really super impressed even if you’re my hero.
BRADFORD COX

Hero Rap Song
The first thing I think I ever played in public, aside from singing in church, would have been – and this is a true story – when I was about nine or 10 years old, I was obsessed with Twin Peaks.

People Song Thinking
For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

Experimenting Me Traditionalism
I need punk rock. It’s the medicine for me, but it’s bitter and sickening. If you don’t need it – if you’re happy and healthy – run toward that.
BRADFORD COX

Medicine Rocks Running
I’ve been going through a lot of… stuff. I need some space, which people were very kind enough to give me, and I feel really gracious about that. Nobody forces me to do things or say things or do interviews.
BRADFORD COX

Giving Nobody People Space
I’m real critical of myself. I think a lot of what I’ve done is boring indie rock. I didn’t intend it to be that way, but somehow milk gets added to everything.
BRADFORD COX

Done Real Thinking
I think people are intimidated by me, and I don’t know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.
BRADFORD COX

Irritated People Thinking
There’s not like this separate caste system where it’s like, “I’m the musician, you’re the audience. Never the two shall meet.” It was a case where it was like, “Hey, you know what? I’m on your level, man.”
BRADFORD COX

Audience Know Learn Musician Shall
When I go on a nostalgia trip it’s not aesthetic. For me it’s about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I’ve experienced in the past personally.
BRADFORD COX

Feelings Past Smell
You’re always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that’s maybe even too weird for your own taste.
BRADFORD COX

Musician Taste Trying
We didn’t have MTV, and I was desperate for something. You know, you’re young, you want something off the beaten path. And Twin Peaks was like, surrealism on network TV.
BRADFORD COX

Desperate Path Twins
When money and fame happen too late, it’s like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.
BRADFORD COX

Fire Late Loading Self Too
Audiences tend to dig the earlier stuff by any given musician, and the artists themselves always tend to prefer the thing that they’re doing now.
BRADFORD COX

Artist Musician Stuff
That’s what culture is based on, the passing down of a certain narrative by imitation.
BRADFORD COX

Culture Imitation Narrative
Usually I’m not really conscious of what’s going on. I don’t have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
BRADFORD COX

Conscious Memories Really
