Music

More quotes by Josh Homme

I think now is the best thing that you’ll ever get, and that’s all you’ll ever get.

You can't upstroke yourself into toughness.

"I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate."

Risk nothing, get nothing. If you wanna be famous, then it's OK if the music is fake, because fame isn't real.

My favorite music is hooky, quirky, arty, dark, surprising, heavy, groovy, soft, emotional but not emo. It wears a sweater because it’s cold, not because it's stylistically there.
