Quotes by Rivers Cuomo

Now that I'm a father, I've forgiven my parents.

I meditate two hours a day, and every year I do one big long meditation course. I love it, and I'm really into it.

I have a natural instinct to feel guilty and that I've let people down. I've apologized in more songs than 'Back to the Shack.' Going back to our second record, the closing lines are 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' It's definitely part of my personality.

I do want to make music that people love, but I also want to make music that I love. I know I can't please everyone with anything I do, so I don't think too much about how other people are going to take things.

I really don't need to suffer. I can really become a happy person and still make good music - in fact, better music.

I listen to music a lot on the treadmill - I would test 'Raditude' songs out on the treadmill.

I found that so many people in the music business started out as metalheads in the Eighties - whether they're songwriters, producers, engineers or executives, and no matter what they look like, with short hair, suits or whatever. I feel like my generation of metal kids really tends to populate the music world to a large extent.

I just gotta keep reminding myself: Every time I do an interview or something, my volition really has to be just to serve, to help people. Not to feel like I'm important.

Even at your best, the creative moments are still kind of fleeting.

I'm constantly fighting with my manager to reduce the amount of time I have to spend on promotional activities, so I can get back in the studio and work on new music.
