Quote

Never forget that what becomes timeless was once truly new.

The quality of a timeless song is that it's catchy, meaningful and relatable.

Soul music is timeless.

Woodcuts have a really timeless sort of feel, and they feel like a book that's a couple hundred years old.

Painting becomes interesting when it becomes timeless.

But that is a valid, continuing service that that music - which is, in some cases, 80 or 90 years old - is rendering. And proving its own timelessness.

When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was 'The Graduate' or 'Rebel Without a Cause' or 'Dead Poet's Society,' they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That's what made them resonate with me.

I tend to like antique things. Something can be old, but it can be timeless.

Ultimately, a timeless story has to be about the human condition.

And it really is a good feeling to get up there and make that sound. I'm not stuck in a time warp, because I can use as many of the old songs as I want to, just the favorites.
