Josh Homme Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Josh Homme:

The problem is that music is selfish in that you need to make it for yourself, so that you can give it away, and those two things don't jive. I needed to find the right reason to play that had the magic and mystery and excitement that made me want to play in the first place.

I'm just going to put out three or four releases a year and make it so that if you like the Desert Sessions, then you'll definitely like everything else.

I think you can separate yourself from your fears. You know what you should do, and it's just scary to do it. But I'd hate to let the fact that I'm scared to do it make me not do it. It ends up defining you. Because the moves you make are then based on what you don't want to do.

Josh Homme

Well, I think what's most important is the idea of something.

Josh Homme

Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.

Josh Homme

Vinyl has gotten to the point where it's exclusively for the collector, I guess.

Josh Homme

The first record I bought was a Carl Perkins record, because I saw him at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho. I loved Elvis and I found out that he wrote 'Blue Suede Shoes'... so connecting that experience of going to see him play was pretty awesome. That's when I realised I wanted to play guitar.

Josh Homme

I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

Josh Homme

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.

Josh Homme

I don't think it's good to run on anger, but it's really great when that's the first couple of gallons in your tank - when you've had enough, and you're just pissed off enough to go for it. In a lot of ways, that sort of environment can be a catapult for a great situation.

Josh Homme

You got to risk something to be able to give something, you know?

Josh Homme

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

Josh Homme

Why would you choose being bitter over choosing to make music? Being bitter is gross. It doesn't amount to anything.

Josh Homme

I asked my friend Greg Andersson to introduce me to people that can distribute my album.

Josh Homme

I think more people need to make out.

Josh Homme

I like when people take chances.

Josh Homme

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

Josh Homme

I'm a fairly upbeat and happy guy, you know? I don't like people that feel sorry for themselves, and I traditionally stay away from people like that.

Josh Homme

So the thing is to put out music for music's sake.

Josh Homme

I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know?

Josh Homme

People don't want their actors acting like musicians.

Josh Homme

Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.

Josh Homme

The language that we use now impacts on the ability to vote, it impacts on the marketplace; instead of making things clear, it makes it more confusing. I think we need to stop using neutral language and speak in straighter terms. So when you agree to something, you actually get what you agreed to in the first place.

Josh Homme

Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies. I'm always hoping that half the people get the joke and the other half are the joke.

Josh Homme

When you get sick and it's extended, you go through all these mental phases, and everyone handles them differently.

Josh Homme

I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don't bring puka shells back. You've got to be careful of your vacation purchases.

Josh Homme

I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.

Josh Homme

Sometimes hard decisions have to be made, and sometimes wonderful decisions have to be made. You've got to be willing to make them all.

Josh Homme

I'm not so much of a joiner.

Josh Homme

I felt really free, like I could do anything, because no one would know what to expect.

Josh Homme

Really the topic of breakfast cereal is generally a very boring one.

Josh Homme

The expression of this idea is Queens of the Stone Age, but the idea is that you will never slack on the music and will always humble yourself at the alter of Rock.

Josh Homme

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

Josh Homme

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

Josh Homme

Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos.

Josh Homme

All I really care about is that I'm being honest and I'm real and I'm coming from a real place. There's a part of me that's a total cad and a part of me that's also a family man.
