James Iha Quotes

It’s great working with directors and with somebody else’s vision Picture Quote #1

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there Picture Quote #1

We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that Picture Quote #1

I’d like to keep doing film and TV, and I definitely can appreciate a good theme song. If it’s memorable, that’s a great thing Picture Quote #1

I’m happy doing different things. Being in a band is great, but being in a band can be difficult sometimes Picture Quote #1

I mean I like pop music, and I like heavy music and, stuff that I like... the band I’ve signed on to our label right now; they’re called The Sounds. They’re kind of like a new-wave pop band Picture Quote #1

So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience Picture Quote #1

The band set up in January and just started rehearsing. If there was a song, we’d just rehearse it as a band, and it would get arranged as a band, and it got changed around a lot Picture Quote #1

And they kind of left to find a guitar player at the very end, so you know, I don’t really take it as any slight that I wasn’t able to play on the record. It’s flattering just to play with them period Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s going to be a really long tour, and well, I guess I’ll see what happens with A Perfect Circle, ‘cause they do other projects too, and I don’t know. I hope I can always do a lot of different things, do ‘em well Picture Quote #1

I love a lot of the New York bands, but Patti Smith stands out. I just read ‘Just Kids’ and it’s an inspirational, well-written account of an emerging New York artist in the late seventies Picture Quote #1

It’s much easier to work on other people’s music and play in other people’s bands as a guitar player instead of being the main songwriter and singer. That’s a really big job to do that Picture Quote #1

I’d like to keep doing film and TV, and I definitely can appreciate a good theme song. If it’s memorable, that’s a great thing Picture Quote #1

Well, I’m pretty domestic actually. I walk my dog. I go grocery shopping. I hang out with friends. I’m pretty normal, whatever normal is, on my off time Picture Quote #1

All of the music works on its own, but it doesn’t really make as much sense without the picture Picture Quote #1

I think if you’re able to make the music you want and you can do it in the right kind of context, you don’t have to be a circus ringleader to be successful Picture Quote #1

I play and I’ve played in heavy bands, but when I write for myself, I don’t particularly feel like writing huge rock riffs. It just doesn’t work for me and my voice Picture Quote #1

At some point, I had to make a decision: I could practice more and become a really great guitar player or I could work on writing better songs. There are only so many hours in the day, and I found writing songs more fulfilling than working on becoming this virtuoso guitar player Picture Quote #1

I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor... It’s pretty good for you but you can’t force it on anyone else Picture Quote #1
