Will Oldham Quotes

When I was a kid, I always thought that acting was going to be the way to go Picture Quote #1

I had a lot of time to myself, and I would listen to a lot of music, mostly music that I knew fairly well and had a relationship with. And I’d think, well, what is it that I’ve never been able to do that this person or people are able to do with this song? Why haven’t I been able to do it, and what can they do that I wish I could do? And then I’d try to do that. I’d start each day getting into the songs, and I’d think about how I might get closer to this music that I love, but haven’t been able to make before Picture Quote #1

I don’t usually read reviews. I usually read the interviews, just because I figure it’s a good way to try to do them better if I ever have to do them again Picture Quote #1

On days where I feel the karma is in balance I’m not afraid of death. And when I feel it’s weighing heavily on the negative side, then I get very scared and just think about eternal damnation and how unpleasant that would be Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we need to tell ourselves that we’re not going to do certain things, just in order to stay sane Picture Quote #1

My hope has always been that each record could have its own audience. Of course, it’s awesome to have a cumulative audience for more than one record, but I like the idea that there could be a record that an individual might like Picture Quote #1

As it turns out, as an adult I can have a very unpleasant, fierce and unforgiving temper at times. But I don’t think I had that when I was a kid Picture Quote #1

I don’t like going to cities. I don’t mind maybe being in a city sometimes for a few hours, but I pretty much don’t like cities. I don’t even like passing through them Picture Quote #1

I make the songs and part of making them is singing them. But what you hear is not me. It’s the song. It’s through me Picture Quote #1

I need to go someplace faraway that doesn’t have telephones and doesn’t have a record player and doesn’t have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything Picture Quote #1

I think records and music are more appropriate and more respectful of the human soul than the churches are. And more respectful of the needs of humans to communicate with the aspects of themselves that are neglected by language Picture Quote #1

I think that what trips up a lot of great musicians is that they become involved with too many things that aren’t where their strengths lie Picture Quote #1

I’d like my records to reach as many people as possible, but I’m also thinking in terms of how I can keep from getting jaded or unhappy with the process Picture Quote #1
