Matthew Sweet Quotes

I went to a rare live Van Dyke show and met him there. And then he came to a show of mine and we spoke back stage. The third time was at Brian Wilson’s birthday party Picture Quote #1
Back then, we could drive a mile from home and there was nothing. Now it’s grown in every direction and is populated and modernized. I guess I have mixed feelings about it, but I’m not someone that thinks everything should stop growing Picture Quote #1
I’m not in for killing another man, defending my holy land, as if there’s a God who would understand Picture Quote #1
I went to a rare live Van Dyke show and met him there. And then he came to a show of mine and we spoke back stage. The third time was at Brian Wilson’s birthday party Picture Quote #1
The summer of 2002 at the Wilson birthday party I met Van Dyke again and I made plans to have dinner with him Picture Quote #1
When I go to Japan and do shows I play for 1,000 to 1,500 people. I like a lot about Japan. Their popular culture and mass commercialization appeals to me Picture Quote #1

So it helped me to just let go of all my tensions and feelings about that world and say ‘OK, this is for my fans in Japan. They’ll be nice and get into it and have fun.’ And it was the first record I made at my home studio Picture Quote #1
I wanted Kimi to be a Japanese record with a Japanese title. I wanted it to be for them. They appreciate things on a different level, and take their art very seriously - that’s special if you’re an artist Picture Quote #1
First off, I don’t want anyone to think I’m this huge thing in Japan. Every group from here that’s made any records over any length of time - even indie bands - have a Cheap Trick effect in Japan Picture Quote #1
Creativity is much better when it’s free. Someone can take it and sell it if that’s what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living - that would be the best scenario Picture Quote #1
The openness of rural Nebraska certainly influenced me. That openness, in a way, fosters the imagination. But growing up, Lincoln wasn’t a small town. It was a college town. It had record stores and was a liberal place Picture Quote #1
Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around 92 and 96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life Picture Quote #1

Wavering and burning like a golden lie Picture Quote #1
You’re laughing at everything that’s bringing me down Picture Quote #1
They’re not your words, but you’re reciting the lines Picture Quote #1
Back then, we could drive a mile from home and there was nothing. Now it’s grown in every direction and is populated and modernized. I guess I have mixed feelings about it, but I’m not someone that thinks everything should stop growing Picture Quote #1
You know that they’re not just into it for the moment, they really care about it and value it over time Picture Quote #1

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn’t understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge Picture Quote #1
In a world that’s ugly and a lie, it’s hard to even want to try Picture Quote #1
I only felt a cold wind blow while I tried to hang on to the past Picture Quote #1
It wasn’t so much that I had to leave to make it in the music business as I was curious to be out on my own and sort of explore. I never felt that where I was ever influenced my songwriting Picture Quote #1
It became a question of do I want to be on a label where it could take three years to put out a record instead of putting out three records over the same period of time on my own Picture Quote #1
I have more perspective now, and am happier now. It’s not that I don’t want success, but I now know I can have success at a lower level and make much more money doing it by myself. I make $6 or $7 bucks a record vs. nothing off those other records Picture Quote #1

I had no allusions of radio success. I just loved being in studios. I was having fun and in that sense I now feel a lot like I did when I did that record Picture Quote #1
