Checkout quotes by Beck on Music

• ‟ 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.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ The repercussions of what you put out and what people gravitate to in your music never registered at all. I never had that thing that maybe other bands have - a specific idea of what they are and what their sound is.

  - 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.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record.

  - 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.

  - 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.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ I sat out a few years because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do next. So many things were changing in music and in culture, so it seemed like a good time to step back.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ There's never any pressure on the music having to be something.

  - 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.
