Brian Fallon Quotes

Everybody can dig The Beatles, but why should everybody dig us?

A band's only unique thing is its chemistry, especially if none of you are prodigious players or particularly handsome. The one thing you have is your uniqueness, so we hold on to that.

I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.

When I was starting out with record companies, there was a tendency to simplify the image as a prodigy. I have more than one adjective, and I've always tried to be myself and listen to my instincts.

I like hearing fiddles, steel guitar, acoustics up loud - really rock & roll stuff but with a country sound behind it. That's just who I am. I'm not trying to prove a point; I am just doing what I like. But I don't have any problems with any other artist coming in and doing their own thing.

I can say this much with confidence - that I now have a sound of my own

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style. If someone says, 'Buy this - you'll be stylish,' you won't be stylish because you won't be you. You have to learn who you are first, and that's painful.

I don't want to sound like Ross; I don't want to sound like Puff. I want to make my own music: French Montana.

Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way.

Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.

When I was young, I had this contrarian thing, and my music for a long time was an extension of that. I didn't want to entertain people; I had too much vanity to be an entertainer. I think that some layers of vanity came off.

Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

I would say trust your own judgment and develop your own style that is true in your heart and don't be deterred from that. Just develop that something that's unique to you that you feel you can give. Be true to yourself, trust your own judgment; that's all.

The whole point in developing your own style is to find your own voice.

Many people say to me, particularly about my dance writing, 'It sounds just like you.' But it sounds just like me after I've made it sound like me.

If I have a style, I am not aware of it.

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that.

I feel like I was the only person who was capable of making this type of music in this type of way. I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.

I realize I have strength as an artist and professional by embracing my difference instead of what makes me the same.

I have to be able to be the artist that I am.
