Promoters don't book you 'cause they like you; they do it 'cause there's good business to be done.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
R&B and all that stuff was always very spare and spontaneous. Nobody made those records under solid gold situations. It was just in and out, and you didn't labor over the thing. I like music like that.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
With country, it's hard to penetrate the thick layers of commercialism that have been applied like shellac coatings over the real thing.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I give up on pop music. As far as a commercial entity, as far as pop music goes, I quit; I absolutely throw in the towel. I can't handle it. I can't do it. I can't be what they need you to be.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I've tended to look at my albums as research and development. I was just trying to get someplace new on each one.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
All I know is, I play the guitar, beat it out, and sing a song that has some damn resonance that we feel as musicians. We send it out and people get it, and that's a good thing.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
People who get together, regardless of other structures, will find something in common. They are bound to. That was the Pete Seeger let's-all-sing theory.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
If you're white working with non-white people, you will be branded as a colonialist by some people, regardless of your efforts or intentions.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
People who aren't as interested in recorded music as they used to be will say, 'Oh, 'Buena Vista?' Loved it.' And I'll say, 'Well, how about any of my other recent records. I've been doing some pretty good ones. You like those?' And they go, 'Huh?'
Quote by -Ry Cooder
Back in the early '70s, when Susie and I were first married, we had a little house that we rented, and we used to have parties. People would come, and they wouldn't leave. I used to get so tired. I'd put on the Stanley Brothers, 'Songs for the Good People,' and the house would clear in five minutes. It was not liked; it was alien. It was weird.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I hate films. Films make me sick now, and if something makes me sick, I always back off.
