Brandon Boyd Quotes

The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry.
Brandon Boyd

Girl, Find, Talk

It's great to want to be part of something, but it's a different thing completely to believe wholly in some type of movement, and to give everything for that something.
Brandon Boyd

Great, Everything, Give

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.
Brandon Boyd

Love, Made, Before

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
Brandon Boyd

Life, Music, Money

I think that what most artists are trying to do is trying to understand. I think what distinguishes creative people and/or artists from another type of person is perhaps a willingness to go headlong into that uncertainty.
Brandon Boyd

Person, Trying, Understand

I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.

My parents are wonderful, and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person. She goes completely on her feelings of things, on her intuition, and so she instilled that in my brothers and I.

There are five known gyres spinning around in our world's oceans. A gyre is a slowly moving spiral of currents created by a high pressure system of air currents. A spinning soup, so to speak, is made of what exists in the water. And in this case, the gyres are spinning with millions of tons of our discarded and forgotten about plastic waste!

I'll make music, whether or not anyone is listening, for the rest of my life. It's a natural form of expression for me, the same way I draw and write and sing.
Brandon Boyd

Life, Music, Same

I have always idolized eccentric people.
Brandon Boyd

Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from.

I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.

Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.
Brandon Boyd

Men, Write, Less

Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.
Brandon Boyd

Music, Same, Idea

Brandon Boyd

Ocean, Natural, Interested

Being an artist for my well being and as a living, I live in a place of observance and interest in what I consider to be the most relevant questions.
Brandon Boyd

Live, Living, Place

Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.
Brandon Boyd

Life, Art, Perfect

I actually believe 'Sustainability', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.
Brandon Boyd

Today, Heart, Play

I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently.
Brandon Boyd

Work, Thought, Until

I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.
Brandon Boyd

Work, End, Thought

I've been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I've been writing music - and I've actually been drawing longer than I've been writing music.
Brandon Boyd

Music, Long, Writing
