[What I want to communicate] doesn't have a language with which I can communicate it. The things that I want to communicate are simply self-evident, emotional things. And the gifts of those things are that they bring both intellectual and emotional gifts - understanding. But I don't really have a major message that I want to bring to the world through my music. The music can tell people everything they need to know about being human beings. It's not my information, it's not mine. I didn't make it. I just discovered it.
Jeff BuckleyI prefer the band situation. I prefer the relationship. Music is meant to be that way. It's meant to be interdependent.
Jeff BuckleyThere's no time for hatred, only questions. Where is love? Where is happiness? What is life? Where is peace?
Jeff BuckleyMusic should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.
Jeff BuckleyI like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?
