All TOM VERLAINE Quotes about “Writing”

“I always thought I was commercial. I always thought I was writing hit singles. These days, whatever's on the radio is considered commercial. People like what's on the radio, whatever it is.”
“I write a lot of more instrumental music than I do vocal music. It's because I come out of a background of playing piano and then playing sax for a number of years. I kind of got into rock backwards. A lot of guys go into rock and then get sick of it and then go into something else. I came the other way, so I've always just had a lot more stuff lying around.”
“What's really fun is to write under different names.”
“You know, there is something I'm looking for when I'm writing. But I couldn't tell you what that is.”
