Beck Trying Quotations

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

In recording, you're trying to make something work sonically - getting the right inflection on the right guitar sound - and maybe a part that would be musically great doesn't sound as cool. On paper, though, it's all stripped back. The musical idea is the one that wins.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.

Sometimes, I think the way the music business has been destructive and the way the fans are been put through it and try to navigate through it, so much is so foreign to what musicians would actually want to do or what would be natural to them.

With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to.
