Dwight Yoakam Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Dwight Yoakam:

The future has a lot to do with the past.

It became a metaphor for the lives of the people in this film and for the Old West, for the abandonment that occurred in the early part of the 20th century.

Dwight Yoakam

Control success before it controls you.

We started shooting, and then Jodie found out she was pregnant. Forest broke it to me - he'd gone to work and heard it on the radio! It seemed like the movie was doomed. But, like these characters, there was a disregard for all the signs along the way.

Dwight Yoakam

Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself. And so I make reference to and acknowledge things that I feel have been dismissed, trying to restate those musical and cultural elements clearly and vehemently.

Dwight Yoakam

I was very fortunate in having David Fincher, the director come to me. Now I've seen the finished product, I feel that every bit of the nine months we spent on the film was worth it.

Dwight Yoakam

I think actors are at the mercy of the opportunities presented to them. So you kind of have to wait for them to choose you. My music is insular - I can choose that.

Dwight Yoakam

'm really proud of it. To me, it's a movie about character behavior and the pecking order of the pack, as well as the central character's massive survival guilt.

Dwight Yoakam

At the end of the film Val suggests there may be a way to rejoin the living, when he says, 'Let's see if we're able to live among the living, walk among the living.'

Dwight Yoakam

It varies from song to song, although Buck Owens and I recently collaborated on writing a duet together and am looking forward with a great deal of anticipation to recording that track for the new studio album.

Dwight Yoakam

In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

Dwight Yoakam

I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me.

Dwight Yoakam

In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.

Dwight Yoakam

Fortunately any of the songs we've recorded can be extremely fulfilling to perform depending on the variety of circumstances that surround any given show.

Dwight Yoakam

But that is a valid, continuing service that that music - which is, in some cases, 80 or 90 years old - is rendering. And proving its own timelessness.

Dwight Yoakam

The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That's what I do.

Dwight Yoakam

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.

Dwight Yoakam

I like order. It allows me to have chaos in my head.

Dwight Yoakam

I've always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts.

Dwight Yoakam

To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It's the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it's the rocket fuel for the track.

Dwight Yoakam

The future has a lot to do with the past.

Dwight Yoakam

My music is very personal. I've created it in solitude. I face a white wall and beller. I like that sound - the expression of loneliness. That's what it's all about.

Dwight Yoakam

I am probably the last of a generation able to gain an education in country music by osmosis, by sitting in a '64 Ford banging the buttons on the radio.

Dwight Yoakam

Musicians exist independent of any of the marketing terms or the categorization.
