Dave Davies Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Dave Davies:

Sometimes when you're with the same old people, you get the same old thing.

My favorite part on 'Energy Fields,' at the end of the track is a little girl laughing, and to me, it's a child watching the world, her friends, and so-called grownup people, and the way they try to understand the world.

Dave Davies

You have to take responsibility for how you act. You can't fix everyone.

Dave Davies

Working with the Kinks, there always seemed to be some kind of automatic process at work. Ray and I had this telepathy happening for a long time, where one of us always knew what the other could do with something.

Dave Davies

I don't like people telling me what to do, or trying to MAKE me write songs.

Dave Davies

I've always been ready to embrace what's around the corner because it might be just the thing that I need to help me grow.

Dave Davies

Science has proved that everything is energy, and now they have dark energy, dark matter. They don't call it all-embracing consciousness; they call it dark because they can't measure it. You know, paint it black.

Dave Davies

All good art, to me, is uncertainty.

Dave Davies

We obviously need more love in the world. And we obviously need more compassion and understanding. Our leaders need to really address these issues properly now.

Dave Davies

Ray is very secretive about his ideas - why not, the times that the Kinks have been ripped off, especially in the early years, it makes you a little bit cautious about telling anybody what you're doing. And that's understandable.

Dave Davies

'Hound Dog' is a really short record, and most singles didn't last three minutes.

Dave Davies

I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.

Dave Davies

I think that things happen for a reason.

Dave Davies

I think people are turning inward more now cause the world's got in such a weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time.

Dave Davies

I thought I'd use music to confront the problems that I faced, and it helped. I found a more healing mindset, and it did rejuvenate me.

Dave Davies

Sometimes when you're with the same old people, you get the same old thing.

Dave Davies

It's the easiest thing in the world to be down about anything. I think the body responds to good vibes.

Dave Davies

I can't stand tribute bands. It's nice, bless 'em, but it's not right. They can't capture the right spirit. You never see a tribute comedian, a tribute Les Dawson.

Dave Davies

I learned five chords; I thought I knew it all.

Dave Davies

I love playing live now more than ever. I enjoy it, I think it keeps you young.

Dave Davies

I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.

Dave Davies

People that have had genuine abduction experiences that I've met that seem very genuine to me, but they're just confused about why it happened. I've met a lot of people like which I regard as being very genuine... but there's a lot of crazy people out there.

Dave Davies

You can always improve on something, the technology is different today, but I would leave it well alone. If there was something that was incomplete, that might be interesting... because I do that on my website.

Dave Davies

Being alone on the moors is scary; as the rain clouds settle in, it makes you realise your place in nature.

Dave Davies

As an individual, I think you have to find your own path. I like the simplicity and purity of Hinduism and many elements of Buddhism. These are all means of accessing spiritual energy.

Dave Davies

I always loved the guitar, from when I was quite little. My dad had a G banjo at the house that he played. When he had parties, my sisters always played piano, and my dad played banjo.

Dave Davies

My family making music was like a folk background, really: banging on tabletops, playing banjo and all kinds of things.

Dave Davies

I have always worked with energy. Everything is energy. Buddhism. Christ teachings. These are foundation stones for a spiritual life.

Dave Davies

What makes me laugh about politics, sometimes, is it seems like once we get to a point where our problems are seemingly unsolvable, it's because we're looking through a wrong point of view. If we turn the thing on its head, then maybe we might see it differently.

Dave Davies

Our problems stem from our childhood. Ray was, for so long, the only boy. Then I arrive and take all his limelight away from him. That must have quite a profound effect. I sometimes think that Ray was only happy for three-and-a-half years in his life. And those were the three-and-a-half years before I was born.

Dave Davies

My perspective is that you should be IN the world, but not OF the world.

Dave Davies

The artistic side of our family was very important because one person encourages the other. It was a vey enlightening place to be as a kid because of all the music and dancing, and my dad played banjo; my sisters played piano and sang.

Dave Davies

We've always had our hardcore fans. But the general public has a love-hate thing about the 'Kinks.' It always leaves people with a question mark on their heads.

Dave Davies

A lot of our music came out of a lot of weird psychology and weird emotions. When you play the whole body of work, you get tossed all over the place. It's not easy listening. It's not even comfortable to listen to.
