I'd like my records to reach as many people as possible, but I'm also thinking in terms of how I can keep from getting jaded or unhappy with the process.

From Will Oldham

It's nice to be able to backtrack and not be embarrassed by the music you used to listen to.

From Will Oldham

I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.

From Will Oldham

I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it.

From Will Oldham

There's very little admirable about being a pirate. There's very little functional about a pirate. There's very little real about a pirate.

From Will Oldham

I have more respect for somebody who points at his ideal - in this case, the ideal of the pirate - and then becomes something that's more radical, more exciting, more subversive than a pirate could ever be.

From Will Oldham

I think that America in general is piratical. Every time we accept a paycheck for doing almost nothing, allowing us to live above the poverty line, we're engaging in piracy.
