Quotes from Kurt Vile

There's so many FM hits that I love. Bob Seger, there's two of his songs that I love. I would probably love more, but I don't sit around listening to Bob Seger records. It's the same thing with Tom Petty; he writes amazing hits, but it's not often that I sit around at home listening to a whole Tom Petty album.

I benefit from a change of scenery; it's always inspiring.

I just try to make as much money as possible. However I can do it. With as much integrity as I can have.

I'd say the best thing the Violators and I have done is to dominate the U.S. with an arsenal of smash hits.

I proved myself with 'Smoke Ring.' It was me maturing. I made a good pop record.

I really love that 'I Can Feel the Heart Beating as One' Yo La Tengo record a lot.

It's gotta feel natural. I'm always into that, and after awhile, if I am working on a song too long and trying to make something out of it that it's not... it's best just to stop and move on.

I can be chill. That's a side of me that I like. But then, I can also be not so chill. I can get a little stressed out.
