"Yeah, I’m trying to get to a new thing, I work hard at it, really, it’s not about cut and paste, it’s not about sounding post-modern, that’s not the point. I don’t care about what it refers to. It’s like, just listen to the music. Does it turn you on? Do you hate it? I just want to get to the basic human reaction, not the preconceived ideas, not the prejudices, not the categories, not placing the music on a linear time line and writing it off that way. Which is difficult now. We’ve seen so much, done so much and heard so much. You know, it’s really hard to do something new. I think you can just keep playing the same thing over and over, and rock’n’roll will never die, people will always like electric guitars, people need electric guitars. And on the other side of the coin you can start playing techno and electronic music and that is a sound that doesn’t have anything to do with 1965, but it’s limited to a certain amount of sound. I don’t want to be limited. I want to be able to use any musical texture that makes sense and makes the song interesting."
— Beck
