Graham Coxon Quotations

Most of America don't even listen to music probably. They just go raccoon hunting or something.

It's the faster bands that made me want to play guitar, bands like The Jam.

Like, Mission Of Burma to me always sounded almost like they were part of the British Arty New Wave. I kind of like that. I like not being able to tell the difference.

It's mostly Mars Bars and peanuts and cheese and you go to the fridge and there's Red Bull and Beer. It's not like people are holding me down and pouring beer in my face.

There were some extremely good teachers there that were great artists really in their own right. It was actually very hard to concentrate on getting down to going any work being an art student especially when it's a flighty thing at best.

It's the clothes that influence the music I'm going to play.

It is ridiculous that I have so many shoes I don't wear. I worry that they're sitting there, being sad.

Playing and singing at the same time is pretty cool, but sometimes it's difficult to know when you can just really let go a bit because you've got to get back to bloody microphone and sing some stuff.

My hobby is my job. it's a jobby!

A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.
