Black Francis Quotes

If you’re a good band then the filter of the band is pretty strong Picture Quote #1

I’m really inspired by the interplay of visual art and music, a total artistic environment where there’s sound and visuals. When I think about that I get stimulated and excited. It’s a feeling that you can’t label with words Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a small, loyal audience, which is great. And I appreciate that. They’re there for me every time Picture Quote #1

Everyone thinks I’m a wimp and even my own band hates me. Oh, well. I guess I’ll just flip ‘em the bird! Picture Quote #1

I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It’s hard to say whether or not you’re a believer. I’ve been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I’ve allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music Picture Quote #1

I have two step-kids and one of my own on the way. That’s three college funds Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to do children’s music. I write kids songs, but the kids songs I write are for my kids - like when I’m putting them to bed. We sing some song that we made up but I don’t want to make a record like that Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking to rock out. But it isn’t really about rocking out versus being mellow, in terms of your personal satisfaction. In the end, you just want to be good. When you look at something that’s really good, it might be Iggy Pop or it might be Leonard Cohen. Whatever it is, you want it to be really good Picture Quote #1

There’s more to life than listening to rock music Picture Quote #1

But the truth is that critics are by definition critical. That’s their job Picture Quote #1

Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought Picture Quote #1

It’s obvious you shouldn’t steal, kill or be cruel Picture Quote #1

I think everyone should sell whatever product they want to sell for whatever price they want to sell it for, but ultimately the market will dictate what it is and people will have to charge less money for everything. Record companies have been overcharging people for way too long and now this is the trouble that they’re in Picture Quote #1

I have always been a singer, a writer, and a musician, not as a prodigy or as in a trade handed to me by my parents, but because of an inner voice or maybe a command from beyond reality as it is usually defined Picture Quote #1

For some artists the live performance is the chicken before the egg of writing or recording of repertoire. For other artists the writing or recording of repertoire is the chicken before the egg of live performance Picture Quote #1

The first thing that inspires any song is a chord progression. When I have one I really like, I get into the lyrics even more Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a small, loyal audience, which is great. And I appreciate that. They’re there for me every time Picture Quote #1

As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn’t have a day job Picture Quote #1

My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn’t how people are going to receive them, because they don’t know the code Picture Quote #1
