I’ve been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.

Bradford Cox

Musicians and artists are not… it’s not like politicians or something where you can’t really affect them.

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

Solitude Sometimes Strong
I want to build an audience that’s willing to follow us in whichever direction we might choose.

Audience Build Choose
I played the theme from Twin Peaks on a little tiny Casio keyboard. People politely applauded. I just fell in love with that song and thought it was very heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking Love Play Pretty
Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I’ll sit there and I’ll write a song to someone – and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.

Fire Late Loading Self Too
When I started having a couple of beers and loosening up, I realized how many years I had wasted going back to my hotel room alone when I could have gone and just had a beer or two.

Beer Couple Hotel Realize Years
I like playing at public schools. I like when there’s more of a diverse audience. I’ll play wherever people want to hear my music, and I’ll be glad and grateful for the opportunity, but I’d rather not play for a bunch of white privileged kids.
BRADFORD COX

Grateful Kids School
When I got hit by the car, I became depressed. As a result, I’ve been on antidepressants and I feel like I have no sexuality left. People complain about that side effect, but I love it. I feel outside of society.
BRADFORD COX

Car People Sides
I don’t have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it’s really awful.
