Brandon Boyd Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Brandon Boyd:

Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.

Brandon Boyd

I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.

Brandon Boyd

I have always idolized eccentric people.

Brandon Boyd

I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate.

Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.

It's been really interesting watching people's reactions to the new music, to the old music and also watching how modern young people will be standing in front of something going on like live music, and there's a camera in front of their face.

Brandon Boyd

Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.

Brandon Boyd

There are many ways to experience love. It can feel like a knife in your back, or it can feel like you're being lifted up by winged creatures towards a beautiful blinding light.

Brandon Boyd

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.

Brandon Boyd

Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from.

Brandon Boyd

I follow a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, which can be challenging in some places.

Brandon Boyd

Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.

Brandon Boyd

I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently.

Brandon Boyd

I feel like a little kid who just walked into a candy store. I think that's something to smile about.

Brandon Boyd

Drawing and visual pursuits were first. Music came and found me in a way. Really, what it's about is creative problem solving, and music is a lot more an expression of that than painting is for me.

Brandon Boyd

Big Brother is watching... look busy.

Brandon Boyd

Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.

Brandon Boyd

There are five known gyres spinning around in our world's oceans. A gyre is a slowly moving spiral of currents created by a high pressure system of air currents. A spinning soup, so to speak, is made of what exists in the water. And in this case, the gyres are spinning with millions of tons of our discarded and forgotten about plastic waste!

Brandon Boyd

I actually believe 'Sustainability', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.

Brandon Boyd

My parents are wonderful, and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person.

Brandon Boyd

The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry.

Brandon Boyd

When we make records, it's hard to pinpoint one thing that inspires a record. It's usually a number of different things that lead to inspiration or wanting to write something down and share it with someone.

Brandon Boyd

I have been drawing and creating visual works my entire life, as long as I can remember.

Brandon Boyd

I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.

Brandon Boyd

What's interesting is a lot of the older music when we start performing it, it acts a lot like muscle memory. It's kind of like riding a bike. For me as a singer, I just had to remember like what part of my face I sang that into.

Brandon Boyd

Surf is something I have been obsessed with since I was a child.

Brandon Boyd

I'm sure we'll be Tweetin' up the Twitosphere as we travel around the world playing music.

Brandon Boyd

Music is the medium that has taken me around the world, and I would be lying if I said I could live without music.

Brandon Boyd

I think that what most artists are trying to do is trying to understand. I think what distinguishes creative people and/or artists from another type of person is perhaps a willingness to go headlong into that uncertainty.
