“I realized I had written maybe, I dunno, the first ever asexual love song. Where it's really just about a fear of dying alone - you need contact, you need love, you need empathy. You need this relationship but if there's no sex involved, people act like it's not a legitimate relationship.” PeopleSongDyingLove YouEmpathyI RealizedNeed LoveFear Of Dying Author:Bradford Cox
“Contrary to popular belief, maybe, I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people. And I'm not really super impressed even if you're my hero; I can just rap with you and we can hang. I'm not gonna like sit there and bite my lip and ask questions about certain songs - okay I might do that once or twice. But it's just, like, two people hanging out.” PeopleGuySongBeliefHeroOkayMeetingsRapFriendlyHanging OutMy HeroContrary To Popular Belief Author:Bradford Cox
“Unfortunately it's hard for me to be a fanboy for anything these days just because I see so much music. And it's not a namedropping thing, but there's just not that many people in this certain small little genre world we live in that I don't know or am not acquainted with. And I like them all; I get along with pretty much everyone. It wouldn't be unusual to see a thousand collaborations at some point.” PeopleWorldCollaborationUnusual Author:Bradford Cox
“You gotta have friends, and it's really hard to have friends that don't operate on the same schedule as you or do the same kind of things you do, because they don't understand it. And then you realize that your friends - your real-life friends - it's not that they become fanboys of you but they become more interested in what you're doing than how you're doing.” KindRealizing Author:Bradford Cox

“Debunking certain things is important, first because you question things, which is always healthy, and second because there's a part that has to do with show biz, which is pretty harmless, but there's another part that has to do with people's vulnerability. That needs to be exposed.” ImportantHealthyVulnerability Author:Rodrigo Cortes
“Something that I wanted to do through the film is try to explore the roots of belief, because everything has to do with beliefs. When I studied the side of the rationalists and the skeptics, and the side of the believers and so-called psychics, I found out that both of them, no matter what they claim to do, behave in a very similar way. They only accepted what confirmed their previous positions, and tended to reject everything that put them at risk.” TryingFilmBeliefRiskBelieverAcceptedBehaveSkeptic Author:Rodrigo Cortes
“If you believe in God, that's a belief. If you are an atheist, it's a belief too, because you cannot prove that God does not exist.” BelieveBeliefProveAtheistBelieve In GodIf You Believe Author:Rodrigo Cortes
“Even when you expose something, when you have a true believer, that person rejects that proof; he thinks it's just a set-up. We believe what's more convenient for us to believe. We always behave this way. We start with the conclusion, and then we create a body of theories around it. We choose what allows us not to change.” ThinkingBelieveBelieverConclusionBehaveTrue Believer Author:Rodrigo Cortes
