“Any reality-TV show on MTV is gonna be fake and stupid.” — Ty Segall Quote

Any reality-TV show on MTV is gonna be fake and stupid.

When I sit down and try to write lyrics first - I've definitely done that in the past - but most of the time, they come off as a put-on, or less genuine than you would think. I'm the kind of guy that if I overthink a sentiment or I overthink a statement, it's weird.

I love the weird overdub style, like 'The Madcap Laughs' by Syd Barrett, where you can tell it's being overdubbed and it's kind of warbly. It creates a different experience. Or the 'White Album,' where you can tell it's overdubbing. But there's something about a band in a room - it's a feeling you can't replicate. There's a feel to the music.

I listened to oldies radio stations as a kid; lots of Kinks and Beatles and '50s hits.

Time flies and you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

I feel like I'm always gonna sing and write songs because it's me.

Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.

There have definitely been more than a few moments in my life where I'm wondering where the next paycheck will come from and how I'm gonna pay rent.

I think I'm comedy-attractive, but it's never gonna be me and Charlize Theron up there.
