The problem is that music is selfish in that you need to make it for yourself, so that you can give it away, and those two things don't jive. I needed to find the right reason to play that had the magic and mystery and excitement that made me want to play in the first place. Josh Homme excitementfindgive share on social
All I really care about is that I'm being honest and I'm real and I'm coming from a real place. There's a part of me that's a total cad and a part of me that's also a family man. Josh Homme cadcarecome Change image and share on social
I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did. Josh Homme badfelthave Change image and share on social
I look at my career as a body of work, not just Queens of the Stone Age records. I'm in Eagles of Death Metal, I'm in Them Crooked Vultures; I make records with other people. Josh Homme agebodycareer Change image and share on social

I'm in three bands, and I love to produce records of other bands, and I have a family that I love. I wanted to be everything for everybody and do all of that...

The first time Kyuss was about to get signed, they're like, 'We'd like to sign you!' and we just said, 'No! Forget it!' because we thought people were always trying to invade everything. Josh Homme forgetinvadekyuss Change image and share on social
I've always had a sick sense of humor, and I've always wanted that to permeate the music because I don't take myself seriously. I take the music seriously, but I know I'm not God's gift to anyone except my mom. Josh Homme giftgodhave share on social
