“Right when I finish a song and listen to it back and I like it, then I...” — Alex G Quote

Right when I finish a song and listen to it back and I like it, then I'm, like, psyched. Then I think I'm the coolest person on earth. 'This is like the best music ever made!' And then the next day I'm like 'that's trash' and I'll keep it anyways.

When I was a younger person, if I met someone that I was listening to pretty devoutly, I'd be at a loss for words.

From knowing other musicians, I wouldn't even say that I'm more prolific than them. I'm just in a position to put more out... because I do everything from home.

I always listened to the radio a lot, and I've always tried to capture some of that stuff in my music. But it always comes across differently. I have never been able to get it right, I guess because of the limited means I had.

Music videos may seem old hat now, but let me tell you, in the summer of 1981, MTV was indubitably the coolest thing ever invented. And the people who were in the videos... coolest people ever. No question.

It's easy to get people to sing along to cover songs, but when it's your song, it's the coolest.

It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.

That always seemed the coolest thing to me. How do you use num'bers to predict things? It was like a cool way to use numbers to be better than other people. And I really liked being better than other people.
