Joshua Homme

I'm not so much of a joiner.

I asked my friend Greg Andersson to introduce me to people that can distribute my album.

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

Really the topic of breakfast cereal is generally a very boring one.

I'm just going to put out three or four releases a year and make it so that if you like the Desert Sessions, then you'll definitely like everything else.

The expression of this idea is Queens of the Stone Age, but the idea is that you will never slack on the music and will always humble yourself at the alter of Rock.

I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

Independent minded girls that are naked sounds like a great start to something.

I think everyone is trying to figure out who they are and their own thing.

I like when people take chances.

Well, I think what's most important is the idea of something.

You got to risk something to be able to give something, you know?

Sometimes you actually get caught in the web of things where people are talking about... what kind of breakfast cereal you like.

Vinyl has gotten to the point where it's exclusively for the collector, I guess.

I felt really free, like I could do anything, because no one would know what to expect.

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.

I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know?

So the thing is to put out music for music's sake.

Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

I think more people need to make out.

Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.
