Guy Garvey Quotes & Sayings

#1. The British press isn't as vicious as it used to be, and these days it's sort of cool to care again. Everyone loves an everyman anthem.

#2. "Open Arms" has a lot of unison singing in it. And it works: Grown men will come to our gigs and cry during that one.

#3. We [Elbow] have had some luck with media syncs in film and on TV. We'd love to do a soundtrack with a really cool director.

#4. As long as people are listening that's all that matters.

#5. Just start scribbling. The first draft is never your last draft. Nothing you write is by accident.

#6. I usually tell somebody if a song's for them. I don't always tell them if it's about them.

#7. I'm not David Bowie. Who are we kidding? At the end of the day, I'm the same person I've always been. I'm Don Garvey's son from up the road.

#8. Maybe Radiohead and R.E.M. Even a group like the National - artists who have crossed over without compromising. It's a special thing.
