The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ezra Koenig
- Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don’t normally use.
- Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There’s so much middle ground. And I think there’s a lot of people who find that middle ground.
- I’m pretty sure that the Walkmen are the band that I’ve paid to see the most in my life.
- If kids and teenagers can get into a band, it’s probably not because they think it’s brainy.
- I went to Columbia University because I knew I wanted to go to a school that was academically rigorous. I prided myself on getting good grades, but I also hated it.
- Sometimes you want to dress a certain way… that doesn’t always reflect your pedigree.
- I grew up listening to Jay-Z, and I think the first time I really became obsessed with learning and thinking about lyrics was when I started listening to rap; I was 11, 12, and started becoming aware of music beyond the familiar.
- I do think sometimes there’s danger in guest appearance mania. I’ve seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like ‘Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy’s song,’ and then that’s all it is. It’s a cool idea that sounds good on paper.
- It’s so easy for anyone to deal with their own guilt of being a middle-class white music fan by pointing to other people who they perceive to be richer than them, whiter than them.
- My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.
