19 Quotes by Malcolm Wilson

Music is more emotional than prose, more revolutionary than poetry. I'm not saying I've got the answers, just a of questions that I don't hear other artists asking.

On some songs you're hearing the vocal as I improvised it (as in 'Function Of The Orgasm') so you may hear me stumble.

I don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing.

I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me... people i'd know for years started treating me differently.

I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.

I think I am a star - I'm simply a funny-shaped star.

The Americans are more honest about it and just call it college rock.

We, the artists, make the stuff they sell and they're like ticks on our backs, sucking the life out of us.
