“The cliched rock life never seemed that cool to me.” — Win Butler Quote

“The cliched rock life never seemed that cool to me.”

“The music in Haiti is all tied up in voodoo and African rhythm, and so there's this funny thing: go to a voodoo ceremony, and then go to a Catholic church and tell me which music you liked better, to which one the music is more integral.”

“Funny songs aren't usually that good. Like Weird Al and maybe a couple of Beatles songs, but it's kind of hard to bring humor into rock music in an interesting way.”

“As cliched as it sounds, music is my only form of expression. So I have to be honest with myself, and with that comes being vulnerable.”

“It may sound cliched, but it just shows that when you don't let people put you in a box then anything can happen.”

“My character should not be ordinary, cliched, and if I feel that it's difficult to do this character, I take up that challenge to get into his character.”
