The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mike Patton
- I think that too many people think too much about my lyrics. I am more of a person who works with the sound of a word than with its meaning. Often, I just choose the words because of the rhythm, not because of the meaning.
- If a person wants to be atheistic it’s his God-given right to be an atheist.
- I got one entire song from Fortune Cookies (Land of Sunshine). On another one, I took words from different Frank Sinatra songs and pasted them together. Another one: I was just driving around and there was a piece of paper on the ground, so I stole it.
- Quantitative methods are no more synonymous with objectivity than qualitative methods are synonymous with subjectivity.
- I’m not a poet. I’m not up on stage to get something off my chest. I’m making musical statements, or, most of the time, musical questions for people to figure out, and I’m not going to get in the way of that.
- I learned what I could do with my voice on stages and because of the people that I was around. It wasn’t me sitting in a room by myself. I didn’t know what I was doing. I was figuring it out on the fly.
- Any idiot, any stockbroker, can get out there and live out a fantasy and pretend like he’s playing music. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
- When you start to kind of immerse yourself in that improvisation culture, you gotta be comfortable enough with your instrument to throw yourself into a really potentially dangerous situation.
- That’s one of the great things about touring. It makes you machinelike in a way that you can recreate this music not only in the right way but even better than when it was conceived.
- I don’t know why, but there’s a certain element of panic in writing lyrics that I’m not sure I enjoy. I don’t write lyrics first, ever. I’ve never done that. So, in a sense, the lyrics are a bit of an afterthought – it’s music first.
