Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"It's really hard for me to commit, one way or the other. I was just always creating and seeing what came out."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"When my nephew was 3 and 4, he would say the most genius things. He said, You're hammer macho with FBI dogs. I thought it was just one of those great lines."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"There are a lot of people who really abused sampling and gave it a bad name, by just taking people's entire hit songs and rapping over them. It gave publishers license to get a little greedy."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"I've never been able to relate to apathy. I've always been doing stuff, been in action, making music or working just to get by."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"Especially in music, you wonder, Okay, should I still be doing this? Like, are you overstaying your welcome at the party? But I don't know."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"There's something different that happens when you're writing a song for your own record that you know you're going to sing."
Quote by -Ulrich Beck
"Tonight the city is full of morgues, and all the toilets are overflowing. There's shopping malls coming out of the walls, as we walk out among the manure. That's why I pay no mind."
Quote by -Beck
"Sometimes I'll have an idea for a story or have a subject, and that will inspire lyrics, but most of the time, hopefully, they already exist somewhere else."
Quote by -Beck
"I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose."
Quote by -Beck
"What Spotify pays me is not even enough to pay the musicians playing with me or the people working on the discs. It's not working. Something is going to have to give."
Quote by -Beck
"I wish I had more confidence. I think that's probably my Achilles' heel. If I had more, I probably would have felt emboldened to make more interesting music earlier on, or really go for it in an artistic or songwriting sense."
Quote by -Beck
"Sometimes things in life take a few years to digest, and they find their way into the work later on. Sometimes I'm writing about things from eight years ago-they just took a long time to distill and come out in the appropriate way."
Quote by -Beck
"I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction. I've done so many albums where I've been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It's a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I'm trying to do myself."
Quote by -Beck
"Most of my early records were not cohesive at all, just collections of demos recorded in different years. 'Odelay' was the first time I actually got to go in the studio and record a piece of music in a continuous linear fashion, although that was written over a year."
Quote by -Beck
"I can't tell you how many things I've worked on where I sat on it for a few years, and then somebody else did something very similar. Whether it's some weird vocal effect you hear on another record, or a drum beat, or even a song title, a subject matter, or a mixture of different kinds of music."
Quote by -Beck
"If you look at an old piece of sheet music, there's all kinds of text on it, there are ads, there are proclamations of the greatest songs' success, there's artwork. So there is a tactile, physical experience of learning the song and the way it's notated."
Quote by -Beck
"Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart."
Quote by -Henry Ward Beecher
"I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down - we're not going to be the number one group in the world forever - so you have to have something else to fall back on."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"If it weren't for acid, you might not have an IPod, and you definitely would not have some of the best music in your IPod."
Quote by -Bill Maher
"I really like hip-hop and rap; that's my main influence. I really wanna be more of a hip-hop artist."
Quote by -Billie Eilish

Quote by -Billie Eilish

Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Sometimes it's flattering when people copy you, but sometimes it gets to a breaking point."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I play piano and ukulele, and I taught myself those things just because I wanted to play them."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I have so many designs and video ideas and lyrics in my head, so I always try to be productive."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I've always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
