I like the feeling that I'm giving young women self-confidence. It sounds so cliched, but it can be very moving.

I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.

I couldn't feel good about myself hanging out in Armani clothes when my girlfriend can't even pay her heating bill. I'd feel foul and I'd be embarrassed.

Dear Kanye West. It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry. You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.

If you have any opinions at all or if you're even remotely verbal then they're going to call you fiery.

It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
