Used Quotes

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you’ve got a record out there and that you’re still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn’t exist anymore Picture Quote #1

Songwriters I’ve always been drawn to are people who deal with something of depth in the lyric writing... I’ve always been influenced by the folk song, the storytelling tradition in folk music. And so for years I wrote mostly story songs. I still do that, but as I’ve gone on, it’s gotten a little more personal. I used to write mostly in the third person. I write a little more in the first person now Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we get so used to not really feeling anything, just going with the flow, that we forget how it feels to be really happy or sad Picture Quote #1

I used to think truth was eternal, that once I knew, once I saw, it would be with me forever, a constant by which everything else could be measured. I know now that this isn’t so, that most truths are inherently unretainable, that we have to work hard all our lives to remember the most basic things Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it Picture Quote #1

I ain’t as good as I’m gonna get, but I’m better than I used to be Picture Quote #1

The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class Picture Quote #1

It sounds funny, but my biggest fear is that I’m not perfect. I’m a perfectionist, and I get upset when things go wrong or when I don’t do well. I used to be very uptight, but I’ve learned to loosen up Picture Quote #1

Mom used to say I didn’t run away from home my destiny just caught up with me at an early age Picture Quote #1

Having a dance background, I became used to rejection at an early age. Dance is very competitive, especially for a sensitive person like me. But I realized it’s better not to take it so seriously. If you beat yourself up, it’s hard to keep going Picture Quote #1

I don’t think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn’t be voting. However, we shouldn’t be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups Picture Quote #1

I used to be six foot four. Now that I’m old, I slouch. So, I’m six foot three Picture Quote #1

I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life and then you call it fate. That’s why I call it irony Picture Quote #1

I used to skip breakfast, but eating gets my metabolism going, so I burn more calories all day Picture Quote #1

I was into punk rock back when I was in high school. I used to go around to dive venues and take photographs. But now it’s been just much more about the country stuff and soulful folk Picture Quote #1

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one. And now they seem sort of meaningful and real Picture Quote #1

I’m 33 now and I seem to have hit a fitness plane. Shifting the wobbly bits isn’t as easy as it used to be Picture Quote #1

I guess I get a little sentimental, but I’m so used to moving on and making myself stronger where that’s concerned, otherwise I would just be a wreck! Picture Quote #1

It’s time for those of us who have a voice to speak out for life, for love and for justice using the same media we’ve used throughout our careers Picture Quote #1

I was drinking tea the other day, and I thought: they used to fight wars over this Picture Quote #1

Today, there is no fashion, really. There are just... choices. Women dress today to reveal their personalities. They used to reveal the designer’s personality. Until the 70s, women listened to designers. Now women want to do it their own way. There are no boundaries. And without boundaries, there is no fashion Picture Quote #1

People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes, now they wanna know where I buy them Picture Quote #1

Wow my sister has changed. She used to whip her boobs out for no reason. Now she does it to feed her child Picture Quote #1

Home staging used to be optional. Today, it’s a necessity in selling a house Picture Quote #1

Kids do have to learn that life is a humiliating charade of endless disappointment and tragedy ultimately culminating in pain, decay, and death. My parents used to sing me to sleep with that one Picture Quote #1

When you have been killed as many times as I have, you get used to it Picture Quote #1

I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me Picture Quote #1

At first, I lost my confidence a little. I’m used to having my hair, but now you have this bald thing on top. Then I got into it. It was easy and free; I didn’t have to wash my hair. I just took a hot towel and buffed it to make it nice and shiny Picture Quote #1

It took awhile for me to get used to speaking candidly about my own life. I got into it, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience Picture Quote #1
