Joshua Homme Thinking Quotations

When you try to put everything into music, there's no room left to try to make you think we're cool. We know you think we're cool.

I think the notion of understanding each other is a relief. It's not a thing you get with everyone you hang out with.

I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

I think music is a selfish masturbatory event - for the listener, the maker, the candlestick...maker.

I've always considered myself a workaholic... The way I work, I have to turn myself upside down and hang myself by my ankles and wring myself out like a wet sweater, and I have to do that with other people, too, because I think that's where something good comes out.

I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don't bring puka shells back. You've got to be careful of your vacation purchases.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I think more people need to make out.

I think everyone is trying to figure out who they are and their own thing.

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

I don't necessarily think about it so much, because I don't want to ruin the possibility of something cool by thinking about it.
