Quotes by Ariel Rechtshaid
I have the utmost respect for synthesizers - Soft Cell, early Depeche Mode. But that's become a cliche for the '80s.
I just think that with music, it's kind of like life, and so the people you work with, you generally develop a relationship. You don't have to try to explain things. You just know. It's like you're in the band together and striving for the same goal.
I've always had this impression that notoriety came when you're trying to get notoriety.
I'm still an idealist. My manager is always trying to talk me out of it, but that's just the way I am.
I think something I've been drawn to about the people I work with is that they seem to be - like me - people who are a little insane, and have to make music. It's not a choice they're making for the sake of vanity - like it's cool to be in a band.
I would rather fall flat on my face than try to just make a quick dollar by making music that fits into the radio format right now. It does nothing for me.
I was never in the business of trying to put my name out there - I was really focused on music and records and being in the studio.
I realized I liked being in the studio and working on translating the ideas into recordings.
Im still an idealist. My manager is always trying to talk me out of it, but thats just the way I am.
