“I want really badly to just be funny in a movie but be close to myself...” — Kurt Vile Quote

“I want really badly to just be funny in a movie but be close to myself.”

“On one level, we're on Matador, but our amps still might explode on stage, or they'll be an echo in the mic. It's like climbing a ladder. I like to climb it really slowly. I could probably get really professional right away, but I like to take baby steps and find my own way.”

“It was just the next logical step from making succinct pop songs. What do you do after that? You make pop songs that are longer and more epic, that push the envelope. Imagine your favourite song, or something that you play over and over in the car, except that you don't have to start it over as much.”

“I don't set myself targets. Last season I scored hat-trick against Wolfsburg and three days later, that was forgotten, you're about to be judged again. When you've done well, you don't want another game, you just want to feel great. When you've done badly, you can't wait for another chance to come.”

“I was raised to think that if you behaved badly with men, you went to hell. I realise now it is puritanical and not very adult.”

“I've learnt that from stand-up - you should always worry that it's going to go badly, otherwise you're too laissez faire.”
