Will Oldham

There's very little admirable about being a pirate. There's very little functional about a pirate. There's very little real about a pirate.

I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it.

I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.

It's nice to be able to backtrack and not be embarrassed by the music you used to listen to.
