I think I'm a good dad. It's hard. Ultimately, it's our kids that have the final word. So we'll have to ask them. Rivers Cuomo dadfinalgood Change image and share on social
I wouldn't say that I relax and enjoy anything. But I think my pessimism helps. I never really expect anything good to happen, so when it does, it's a nice surprise. Rivers Cuomo enjoyexpectgood Change image and share on social
I think if I wasn't a musician, I would be a high-school band director or orchestra director. I like working with large groups of musicians and bringing out the dynamics and accomplishing something as a team. Rivers Cuomo accomplishbandbring share on social
I guess I'm just a born performer or artist or sharer. I find the intimate details of my life compelling and interesting. I guess that I'm assuming that everyone else does, too. Rivers Cuomo artistassumebear Change image and share on social
I feel so much feedback in a very profound way from the 10,000 people who are listening to me, watching me. I just get this deep sense of what works and what doesn't work. Rivers Cuomo 000deepfeedback Change image and share on social
I just gotta keep reminding myself: Every time I do an interview or something, my volition really has to be just to serve, to help people. Not to feel like I'm important. Rivers Cuomo feelgottaimportant Change image and share on social
I think probably with any performer, but maybe with rock music especially, the audience wants to see the singer being real, and exploring, and not doing a rehearsed routine, so I'm just constantly looking for new things to try. I'm really curious out there, and my curiosity has led me into all kinds of bizarre situations. Rivers Cuomo audiencebizarreconstantly share on social
I've done a few things on the side here and there, but there is not much reason to do so in a sustained way. I'm generally able to say what I want to say within the context of Weezer. Rivers Cuomo contextgenerallyhave Change image and share on social
It seems like Weezer has gotten better and better at getting attention for everything besides our music. Part of that is just the nature of our culture now - you really have to scream to get some attention, so people even know you have a record out that they might want to listen to.

I found that so many people in the music business started out as metalheads in the Eighties - whether they're songwriters, producers, engineers or executives, and no matter what they look like, with short hair, suits or whatever. I feel like my generation of metal kids really tends to populate the music world to a large extent. Rivers Cuomo businesseightyengineer share on social
