Paul Westerberg

Famous quotes by Paul Westerberg:

"A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat."

"Reading music is like listening to flowers. I don't understand the concept."

"The truth is overrated."

"I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll."

"I think of the Replacements only when they're brought up to me. For two years, I'm at home, they don't really cross my mind. I still hear them on the radio. I'm not ashamed of anything we did."

"Stick with your heart and you'll be fine."

"It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much."

"I have my own language and it's high time I put a little of it out there."

"You know, he likes me because I'm his son. I have to go long and far to find someone who knows me just as me, rather than me the songwriter or whatever."

"Then again, I think about high school every day and I think about being a little kid every day too."

"I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies."

"I sat through Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones like three times at the Skyway when it came out."

"I read The Bell Jar, and then I read her memoir and her diaries, and a third book, an outside opinion. Just the way she made the pillows so neat on the oven door. It just seems to be the opposite of, if you're going to take your life, in a horrible rage it happens."

"It's fun, but the fun is where it always was. I mean, it's still fun to strap on my Les Paul in the basement and turn up the Marshall amp. I'm still 15. I still enjoy that as much as I ever did."

"I don't think there's anything that will make me stop doing it. There may be a time when it's not available to anyone. You may have to come listen at my basement window... but I can't stop."

"Oddly, when I started to make the record, I wasn't aware I was making a record. I just was sort of disgusted with the whole thing and sequestered myself in the basement and started playing the piano just for something to do."

"Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing."

"Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way."

Boston Herald 16 Mar 2025

Back in the ‘90s, someone told Helmet leader Page Hamilton that his music sounded macho and testosterone-fueled ... I always loved artists like Ray Davies and Paul Westerberg, who had the tendency to shoot themselves in the foot ... ....
