I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

Set your guitars and banjos on fire and before you write a song smoke a pack of whiskey and it'll all take care of itself.

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

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

I enjoy recording live better, but I think by the nature of it you are going to end up with something that's a little bit more traditional.
