Famous quotes by Jon Brion:

"I'm fond of it all. I'm a fan of the guy. I've loved watching him work."

"What wasted unconditional love/On somebody/Who doesn't believe in the stuff/Oh well."

"It was so much fun conducting an orchestra and watching the musicians' faces as some of Kanye's lyrics went by. They couldn't believe what was going on."

"[Whatever the case may be, there appears to be no bad blood between the two — Apple recently played at Brion's Friday-night residency at Club Largo in Los Angeles and performed a couple of songs from the record.] She re-recorded a bunch of stuff, but whatever, that's her business, ... I remain a fan and think she's great, and she shouldn't have to meet too much resistance."

"[Brion calls his working relationship with West a natural fit.] His knowledge and understanding of records across the board is great, ... That?s the reason why we got along: We don?t see music as something that happens in one genre."

"[Brion calls his working relationship with West a natural fit.] His knowledge and understanding of records across the board is great, ... That's the reason why we got along: We don't see music as something that happens in one genre."

"If ever there was a time not to ... (mess) with the formula, this would be it, ... But he's fearless. A lot of people have a governor on themselves, usually peer pressure or fear of not being liked. This is a guy that is truly living by his tastes and his beliefs."

"If ever there was a time not to (mess) with the formula, this would be it. But he's fearless. A lot of people have a governor on themselves, usually peer pressure or fear of not being liked. This is a guy that is truly living by his tastes and his beliefs."

"The people I choose to work with, I work with because I'm already impressed with them, you know?"

"I've made a point of not being, say what I refer to as a 'careerist' about anything."

"We're so used to everything being properly manicured, like you can hear every footstep in a movie, you can hear every bit of dialogue, and everything is in its place."

"Some people are more fluid than others at just being themselves and recognizing what's good about themselves."

"People's association with improvisation means one person playing an endless stream of notes over something, and it doesn't have to be."

"There are a lot of producers who basically have their sound, and if the artist works with them, you almost know what the record's going to sound like before it comes out."

"Brian Eno developed systems to keep himself on edge and to keep himself in a position where he's generating ideas."

"When I was younger, I looked at getting older as this process of getting less interested in things and becoming colder, and of finding less joy in the mystery of things. And I've found the exact opposite to be true. I find that I'm getting warmer, and that I'm more mystified by human interactions."

"I'd like to think that most of what I do is self-evident if you're listening to it or seeing it. But I don't mind the fact that it's hard to describe."

"As far as I'm concerned, any work you get is because people have heard other work you've done."

"If we're given a number of circumstances to deal with, the brain goes into this mode of trying to find a solution, and it's amazing how good we are at it."

"Music looks very formidable to people outside of it and it looks like it's this realm of spooky genius."
