“You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.” Quote by Nick Murphy
“This album is my life, and my life's really not that interesting. It's not "not interesting," but I'm just some dude just like everyone else. But by recording it in an album format, it becomes a product. That's the idea of Built on Glass; it's the relationship between my personal life and the music I make.” InterestingPersonal Life Author:Nick Murphy
“My album to me is something, but anyone who buys it, it's whatever it is to them. I don't like telling people what specifics are of the record, because that could ruin it as an experience for someone else.” People Author:Nick Murphy
“All of my friends are really good dancers, which was initially why I never danced - we'd go out and they would kill it and I'd be like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna sit at the bar." I broke my foot, and I couldn't run for a year, but I realized I could kind of dance. It reminded me how amazing dance is; it's so in tune with music - it is music. It's a physical expression of whatever music is. On stage, you're interacting with things - physical things. So I've really started to like and notice the way people move with music.” PeopleKindRunningMovingMusic IsI RealizedBrokeDancer Author:Nick Murphy
“I think you can move to everything, but with some music you just want to sit still. Like Claude Debussy - I couldn't dance to that.” ThinkingMoving Author:Nick Murphy
“I just like voicing films in general. I do a lot of documentary work and it's a short hop really to narrating a character, especially if you're on film and you're there in a visual way. It sounds obvious, but voicing an animation really focuses you on the way that you're communicating through your voice. It's a very specific ability that you need to be able to have in order to pitch it just right.” CharacterFilmAbilityObviousCommunicateAnimation Author:Mark Strong
“On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards and they're like, "Oh my god, I met Chet Faker" and I'm like, "That doesn't even look like me." I feel like I'm experiencing beardism or something.” PeopleBeard Author:Nick Murphy
“If people come up to me, I'm going to be nice to them. Essentially, the assumption is that they support what I do. If I met someone I'd be like, "Hey, I respect your art or your work," and then that's it - let's not go beyond that. But sometimes people are like, "What's going on, man?" "I'm on the street, and we've never met before."” PeopleMenArtSometimesSupportNiceAssumptionBeing Nice Author:Nick Murphy
“In the film industry you never really know if all the various ingredients will come together - sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. As an actor, you don't have much control over those things. It's a director's medium in that sense. All you can really do is minimise the risks of being involved in something that might not work and look for something that also suits you.” SometimesTogetherFilmRiskVarious Author:Mark Strong
“There are a lot of movies about women's psychology, I think almost all of them are directed by men. I mean they all really spoke to me and are amazing movies, but I feel like there's something that they don't understand even if they do a great job.” ThinkingMenMeanPsychologyGreat Job Author:Sophia Takal
“The early commentators who put down the pre-presidential Roosevelt as an empty-headed young lightweight, all ambition and no talent, now seem comically wrong to a modern book-reading, movie-going, television-watching, legend-loving American public conditioned to think of him as one of the presidential giants on the order of Washington and Lincoln.” ThinkingBookSeemsYoungOrderReadingModernTalentTelevisionAmbitionEmptyPresidentialGiantsLegendsBook ReadingCommentatorsTelevision Watching Author:Russell Baker
