“I find it quite difficult to analyze my own motives for things. I tend to go with a gut feeling in the moment.” Quote by Jamie Lidell
“I just wanted to have some songs I could stand behind, and when I'm on stage just be loving it. People ask me why I did that and I think perhaps it's because Berlin is quite a gray place and I needed to sympathize with a bit of sunshine.” PeopleThinkingSongAsk MeSunshine Author:Jamie Lidell
“Every day, do something selfless for someone else that takes under five minutes. The essence of this thing you do should be that it makes a big difference to the person receiving the gift. Usually these favors take the form of an introduction, reference, feedback, or broadcast on social media. Do something that's not for yourself, every single day. Expect nothing in return. Over time, these random acts of kindness will really add up.” KindnessSocial MediaSelflessFeedbackIntroductionActs Of Kindness Author:Adam Rifkin
“Accessible music is much harder. I could throw out the other kind of albums with my eyes closed. I wouldn't belittle those who want to do the Tricky thing, but it does make me wonder sometimes.” KindSometimesEyeWonderMusic IsTrickyBelittle Author:Jamie Lidell
“All kinds of music comes out that I'm not prepared for. Some of it is good, some of it rubbish, but I kind of accept it all. That's the nature of stream-of-consciousness. You can't always come up with your most lucid material in the heat of the moment. I take that risk when I play live. I open up my mind, however fertile a creative springboard it is that evening.” MindKindMomentsAcceptingCreativeRiskAll Kinds Author:Jamie Lidell
“I do really enjoy having a crowd of people out to see me. They really motivate me. I feel really lucky they've come down so I give it what I have got every time.” PeopleGivingEnjoyLucky Author:Jamie Lidell
“I'm always constantly battling with dry patches. I think I need a Plan B. Thankfully, I've always been able to pull something out of the bag in the heat of the moment.” ThinkingMoments Author:Jamie Lidell
“I just throw myself into a mad frenzy, whip up a storm and see what comes through.” MadStorm Author:Jamie Lidell
“The layering of sound is by no means a two-dimensional process. Even though I've been doing it for a number of years, the diversity of it is so intriguing. It's a bit like traveling across the water. Though you may have done it time and time again it always hits you in a different way.” MeanDifferentDoneWaterDiversityIntriguing Author:Jamie Lidell
“The most important thing for me - and the thing I get frustrated about when I don't achieve it - is momentum. Sometimes you hit on it quite naturally and other times it's a mad struggle.” ImportantSometimesStruggleAchieveMadFrustrated Author:Jamie Lidell
“There's a difference between writing, the written word, and music. When you have the blank page it doesn't make a sound, which is like what happens to me every night when I'm playing. There is that crazy moment: the first mark you make on the page. But sound can inspire sound, in a way that words can't inspire words - at least for me. The nature of sound itself is still a huge mystery to me. I'm very happy about that.” WritingMomentsNightMysteryCrazyInspireVery HappyWritten Word Author:Jamie Lidell
