Josh Homme: Trending quotes (page 2)

“Never again will I repeat myself
Enough is never enough
Never again will I repeat myself.”

Josh Homme

"I'm Designer", Era Vulgaris (2007)
Lyrics, Queens of the Stone Age

“Whenever someone says, 'We're all one,' I've always been like 'No we're not, and that's what's great, so stop saying that or everyone's gonna start believing you.' But yeah, as we all look at the same projection on the wall, we do become one, and I started to realize the horror of that. And I make no attempt to try to alter it from being that; my thing is more about trying to apply some principles of magic—how to walk between the raindrops—and take advantage of a situation like that, because it’s the only choice you have.”

Future

That's all that I can tell you. But you're involved. You know?”
