Brandon Flowers Quotes
- Close your eyes/ Our bed is hidden under/ underneath the heavy Moon./ The Eyes of God/ Are watching over us/ making sure we keep the Golden Rule/ I always thought I’d have a/ full tank to go/ but not tonight/ you’re all alone/ I always thought I’d find my/ own way/ what’s going on in your head, now/ maybe something you said, now/ I know that you’ve been living in the past/ It’s driving me crazy!/ You can try to lie/ but you can’t deny/ can’t deny/ can’t deny my Love./ You can run to the Hillside!/ You can try to hide but you/ can’t deny/ can’t deny/ can’t deny/ can’t deny my Love./ Can’t deny my Love.
- People are there to hear songs that they’ve already grown attached to from the past, and we don’t want to withhold those from people, so we’ve just got to try to find a nice balance. And we’re working that out. It always baffles me when bands withhold those songs. But we’re proud of them. We’re thankful that people are there. Give ’em what they want.
- [as frontman for The Killers] In the beginning I was thin-skinned – green, with tender feet – and had no idea what I was getting myself into. But we have lot of shows under our belt now and hopefully these experiences have made me a better writer and a better person.
- I’m looking forward to getting older. I look at people like Peter Gabriel and Sting and even Tom Petty, Don Henley. People that didn’t lose it. I’m hopefully going to join that club.
- My favourite Cars song is Heartbeat City. I haven’t met them. I heard early on that Ric Ocasek didn’t like us. I’ve met just about every one of my other musical heroes, such as Bono and Elton John. I was surprised when Bernard Sumner from New Order said he liked us.
- Crossfire’s done very well. I knew it was a great song but I didn’t know it would be so big. Critics maybe come to the album having written a review before they heard it but it’s a great record and there’s a reason I’m here. We’ve had awful reviews in the past and it hasn’t hurt us so I don’t know why I care.
- Concerning the constant misinterpretation of the lyrics to ‘Human’ — That sucks a bit. I don’t like ‘Are we denser?’ as an alternative. I really care what people think, but they don’t seem to understand [the song]. They think it’s nonsense, but I was aching over those lyrics for a very long time to get them right.
- People are coming together, as a family, because our brothers and sisters in Africa need our help, so let’s change their worlds. – Live 8 (2005).
- Well, we are under the universal umbrella, as they say. – When asked if he was surprised by the Killers’ worldwide popularity.
- I’m allowed to think that it [Sam’s Town] is the best album in twenty years, but I’ll have my opinion and other people are going to have theirs.
- Move to America! (answering a Canadian fan’s question how to “survive” high school)
- Thinking of becoming an entrepreneur, I would love to rent the “World of Coca Cola Museum”.
- I am a self-confessed cocaholic.
- I think we are the cleanest band in the world, and we are also the busiest. I think these two things go together.
- “You don’t have to be a poet to say something profound.” (When asked what his favorite quote was)
- “When you look at America and see a big hamburger, or whatever it is that you see, they definitely took a bite out of it.” (Referring to the Pet Shop Boys)
- We want to be important and to last.
- I’ve always had this thing about it not really mattering where you’re from, because there’s always been this big cloud over America saying you have to live in LA or you have to live in New York to make it. I always knew it didn’t matter as long as you had the songs.
- I have never done illegal drugs in my whole life. Not even a drag of a joint.
- “America is still getting used to the word “gay,” and when you’ve got a band that’s seen as this gay thing, instantly there’s going to be a wall that’s going to get put up.” (On the controversy surrounding the Pet Shop Boys)
- When I was younger I was chubby. It gave me a terrible sense of self-image, and I guess I carry that around with me still.
- I guarantee I am better than anyone who does drugs.
- Controversy is never a bad thing.
- It is hard to stay normal in Vegas.
