There's 40 or 50 songs that nobody's heard that I've done in between albums. There's a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that's never been released.
From Beck
There's never any pressure on the music having to be something.
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable. When you're not doing what you're used to, you could completely fall on your face. You could completely blow it.
We play a hip-hop song and suddenly 25 people on the left jump up and put their hands in the air; then you play Lost Cause and they're like, I don't know about this one.
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.
To me, 'rock star' conjures up something like a mystic: someone who sees himself as above other people, someone who has the key to the secret that people want to know.
The cliche of what a rock star is - there's something elitist about it. I never related to that. I'm an entertainer. I think of it as, you're performing for people. It's not a self-glorification thing.
