Fred Armisen Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Fred Armisen:

My father came from Germany. My mom came from Venezuela. My father's culturally German, but his father was Japanese. I was raised in New York and spent two years in Rio. My parents met at the University of Southern Mississippi, and they had me there, and then we moved to New York. I'm not very familiar with Mississippi.

I am immediately disinterested when I hear mountain-climbing stories.

I wanted so badly to be in a famous band, and it was not happening. I played drums with different bands and with the Blue Man Group in Chicago, but I definitely felt like, 'Wow, I did not picture my life being like this.'

Fred Armisen

Wayne Coyne has put out Flaming Lips records in gummy bear skulls and all these different kinds of packaging that's really, really inventive. And that's what you should always do.

Fred Armisen

Sometimes 'Portlandia' can be pretty traditional. But the stuff I've always loved on 'SNL' has always been the weirdest stuff I've done. The stuff that went on at 10 to 1 in the morning.

Fred Armisen

I think Ian MacKaye is everything that I always wanted to be.

Fred Armisen

I feel bad for everyone I've gone out with.

Fred Armisen

Prince is my favorite ever. I've liked Prince since... It's been a really long time. Even in junior high. I used to only like punk for a while, and I had all these rules for what kinds of groups were cool, and who was not cool, but as soon as I saw this one Prince video... It just broke all those rules. I was like, 'I love this no matter what.'

If something seems like a little venue, don't treat it like that. Do it all. If you're sort of wondering why you're doing something at some location, just do it - any size theater, production, or whatever. It's all helpful.

The bands that were big in '77, like the Clash and the Sex Pistols and Talking Heads, I got into them in the early '80s. And it changed my life. It got into my DNA.

Every day, I wanna work on being a better person, not just to others but to myself.

Everyone knows deep in their hearts that the drums are the coolest instrument, and that a band is only as good as its drummer. So I'm all for drum solos. I'm all for drummers hamming it up. I'm all for drummers standing up and kicking over the kit.

Fred Armisen

I love painters because I don't paint, so I get to enjoy art; I like collecting paintings.

Steve Jobs was a real rock star to me. I looked forward to his products like people look forward to albums.

I work better when I'm juggling projects. Nothing worse than watching someone really embrace what they're doing if they love it too much.

Questlove redefined what a band can be, and Paul Shaffer and Max Weinberg really put their own spin on it. I bow down to these people. All of them.

Fred Armisen
