Zitat des Tages von Alex Turner:

I just don't think I'm equipped to soundtrack the times. There might be someone out there who can do that, but I haven't cracked it.

I can be a woodsman if need be. I grew up very close to some forest, and I spent a lot of my formative years up and down trees, fooling around in the woods. I'm no stranger to that sort of landscape.

Someone asked me what the key to being a good frontman was, and I think having a sense of humor about it is pretty near the top of that list. It's a very strange place to be in, and I don't take that role too seriously.

I'm in a difficult position in the sense that, preposterous as this might sound, I don't like being the centre of attention. I get up on stage every night and play songs, but I almost feel the songs are the centre of attention. I don't like opening my birthday presents in front of people, either.

I can't draw. I'm good on the yo-yo, but I don't draw.

I just don't think I'm equipped to soundtrack the times. There might be someone out there who can do that, but I haven't cracked it.

There's something about a Gucci loafer kicking on a fuzz pedal.

Alex Turner

If anyone asks me about songwriting, I guess I'd say that you just gotta do it.

Alex Turner

I get nervous about gigs sometimes, but not with records - I always get excited.

Alex Turner

I am a romantic fool, no doubt about that.

Alex Turner

It's a very unnatural environment to be in, up on a stage. So you put up defenses to hide. Like looking at the ground with your hair in your eyes, or being tightly wound and quite aggressive and uncooperative, as I used to do.

Alex Turner

Television? It's a gateway to writer's block, isn't it?

Alex Turner

Sometimes, writing songs is like waiting in for deliveries. They give you a window, and your washing machine is going to show up, whether the window is the album or something you're thinking, like, 'This thing is going to come to me.'

Alex Turner

The idea that talent is directly proportional to your trophy cabinet is one I oppose.

Alex Turner

I think New York is a good place to write in general because it's a grid. It's organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.
