Basically, between 1989 and 1994, I hadn't taken a vacation.
Evan Dando But Sneaky Pete was great. I didn't bug him about Gram. Not too much, anyway. Evan Dando But ya have to make videos in the States. Usually ours just look too serious. We haven't got it together. Evan Dando CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything. Evan Dando Even the bands I dig don't have a history of attaining mass consumption. Evan Dando Every three months I would give this person 100 grand I would have spent on coke, so when my music income ran out I still had $700,000. Evan Dando For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead. Evan Dando I don't like alcohol, but I still like to mess around with other stuff occasionally. I think it's important I take mushrooms and acid. They're certainly not addictive, so I can't rule that out. Evan Dando I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything. Evan Dando I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure. Evan Dando I have to make rock records occasionally. Evan Dando I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think. Evan Dando I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band. Evan Dando I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again. Evan Dando I wanted love from the masses because I was trying to make up for my parents' messy divorce and feeling abandoned when I was 11. Evan Dando I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night. Evan Dando I was trying to spend it as quickly as possible. Because I'm so lazy, all that money created a block. I was flying around the world, staying at fancy hotels, having fun and trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible, so I could get on with some more work. Evan Dando I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting. Evan Dando I've got nothing against my parents; I don't know what it's like raising children and they did a damn good job, but they didn't see eye to eye. Evan Dando I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them. Evan Dando It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore. Evan Dando It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun. Evan Dando My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content. Evan Dando Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right? Evan Dando See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue. Evan Dando Since Elizabeth, I certainly live a healthier lifestyle. Evan Dando Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I'm going to be a lot stricter from now on. Evan Dando That was the sand in my oyster, why I had to write songs as a catharsis to make me feel good - actually, physically - without drugs. Evan Dando The best songs I write in 20 minutes. Evan Dando When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em. Evan Dando When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later. Evan Dando When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence. Evan Dando You know more about me than I do about myself, that's probably true. Evan Dando |
