I was on paper earning more money and having more success than I'd ever had. And it was also the most miserable I've ever been. When those things collided, I realised something was off. That's when I started poking around to figure out what was wrong. Damien Rice collideearnfigure share on social
There's a Nina Simone record that I love, 'Live at Vine Street,' and she sings flat on it. I can imagine she might've told the record label, 'Oh, God, you're not releasing that!' But I'm glad they did. Damien Rice flatgladgod share on social
Music enables me to cleanse and shed the things that I feel are holding me back from growing, or growing up. Damien Rice backcleanseenable Change image and share on social
I want to keep a thread between the studio and the stage, and I want to flow more easily from one to the other. Damien Rice easilyflowstage Change image and share on social
I live with myself. I wake up with myself, I eat, and I take a dump with myself. I don't see anything special there. I do all the same things other human beings and creatures do. I don't see any need to be telling the data of the day of this particular human being by posting it on online. It's not interesting to me. Damien Rice beingcreaturedatum share on social
There are a bunch of songs that I think are beautiful recordings, and I'm proud of them, but I've no interest in listening to them. Damien Rice beautifulbunchhave Change image and share on social
The best restriction I learned was getting into the habit of doing something, even if I didn't feel like it, instead of running away from it. Sometimes good work needs to be earned, and when you can overcome yourself, the muse notices and celebrates. Damien Rice celebrateearnfeel share on social
I just don't like to do a lot of the normal things expected of other artists. I'm not trying to be difficult; I'm just trying to stick with what it is I want to do. Damien Rice artistdifficultexpect Change image and share on social
Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much. Damien Rice cohenhumorleonard Change image and share on social
I don't want to stand in front of a whole lot of fakeys. If I'm going to meet someone and say hello, I want to feel like I'm really meeting that person, not a masked version. I want to give that to people when they meet me. You don't have to like it. I'm not looking for you to like it; I'm looking to be myself. Damien Rice fakeysfeelfront share on social
