Ben Hopkins Zitate

Rather than writing about my experiences with other people, 'Ugly Cherries' is the first song I've ever written about myself. It's a confrontation: an attempt to unpack my own queerness with humor and self care.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Anstatt über meine Erfahrungen mit anderen Menschen zu schreiben, ist "Ugly Cherries" das erste Lied, das ich jemals über mich selbst geschrieben habe. Es ist eine Konfrontation: ein Versuch, meine eigene Eigenart mit Humor und Selbstsorge auszupacken.

So much of my writing derives from these questions that I ask myself - things that are utterly beyond my personal set of experiences - and it's my attempt to try to... understand, to sort of break out of my own consciousness, you know, the limitations of my own life.

I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself.

In my 40s - when I was giving to the Red Cross, United Jewish Appeal and other charities - I said to myself, this is all well and good, but these are really amorphous things, and maybe there are some causes out there that I really give a damn about.

The only thing I know anything about are my own fantasies and anxieties. I don't trust my eyes. I consider myself to be a short-story writer.

The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying.

I don't write all my stuff. Everybody always thinks that. But in just about every album I've ever had has been about 50-50 songs I've written or co-written and other people's songs.

I view my strongest competition as myself. You're always trying to top yourself, rather than worrying about what other people are doing.
