people
You want people to hate you. If you're just making people happy, you're like Mumford & Sons.
experience music musical people
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
people want
Especially with music, people want confidence.
block artist people
My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
icons people looks
If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.
people humanity way
I love humanity, I love the way people look
play people want
It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.
thinking people assuming
I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be "indie."
jobs people needs
I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.
crazy ideas people
I grew up going to punk shows, that kind of thing - I don't wanna make pop punk! - but I like the idea of people going totally crazy and it being really intimate, loud and super-aggressive, but combining that with pop music.
crazy moving people
Lately I've been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.
cities people trying
I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.
teenager issues people
It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.
people perception cameras
I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.
