Rivers Cuomo Good Quotations

I think I'm a good dad. It's hard. Ultimately, it's our kids that have the final word. So we'll have to ask them.

I really don't need to suffer. I can really become a happy person and still make good music - in fact, better music.

I wouldn't say that I relax and enjoy anything. But I think my pessimism helps. I never really expect anything good to happen, so when it does, it's a nice surprise.

Nothing sounded as sincere as Nirvana's music. It took a long time for me to accept that any other music could be good in other ways. Including my own.

I have some good books of Bach keyboard music transcribed for guitar, and there's always a nylon-string guitar hanging on the wall in my house and a bunch of classical guitar books to grab. I kind of do that just for fun.

Most people don't really need to hear a six-minute guitar solo that modulates between five keys and time signatures. What they want is a good song.
