That's really where my heart is, unfortunately - I'm less interested in songwriting and more into just making noise.
Sufjan StevensThe Internet is manic. It's very strange. I don't think it's healthy. They should outlaw posting comments! It's a bummer to go somewhere to get information or buy tickets and you encounter profanity everywhere you go.
Sufjan StevensI feel like the Internet needs to be disarmed in some way. There needs to be a philosophical undermining of the Internet. We take it too seriously and too literally. For a reference we go to Wikipedia, which is full of inaccuracies and misinformation. It's kind of beautiful - it's all the product of imagination; it's not reality at all.
Sufjan StevensI want to throw my voice more, I want to manipulate melody more... I want to be less deliberate and mechanical... I want less melody.
Sufjan StevensThere is nothing more incredible and moving and appealing than good music, and it cannot always be reduced to a story, to exposition. It's so much more abstract and brilliant.
Sufjan StevensI love kissing. If I could kiss all day, I would. I canโt stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because thereโs no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep. And when you wake up, you canโt stop thinking about kissing. Dammit, I canโt get anything done because Iโm so busy thinking about kissing. Kissing is madness! But itโs absolute paradise, if you can find a good kisser.
