“In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to ...” — Leon Bridges Quote

In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound.

I got tired of depending on other people, and I had this strong desire to make music of my own. I decided to start writing my own tunes and just see what could happen.

I've always had a very clear vision of what I wanted to do.

I think I'll always live in Fort Worth. It's great that I can now go anywhere I want to play music, but I love coming back here. I can roll down the streets and just reminisce.

I never really thought about my music being universal. When I set out to write, it was just a feeling that felt good to me. I never thought about being able to reach everybody.

I usually try to wear stuff that is versatile, pretty classic.

I have only read very classic traditional English ghost stories, other than Henry James, who wrote some magnificent short ones as well as the longer 'Turn of the Screw.' He, Dickens, and M.R. James are my influences.

Go to the Savoy for a classic British tea and to see what a $350 million renovation can do for a hotel.

Yahoo to me, as the founder of a company, is one of the biggest opportunities you could have; it's one of those classic Internet companies.

I like a lot of Ralph Lauren and classic styles... My style has changed in that I'm willing to try more things.
