Glen Hansard's Quotes

  • It's a new personality to try on or a new set of clothes to try on. Everything you've been is basically over. ... Sometimes it feels more comfortable having potential rather than having accreditation.
  • If the sentiment becomes your focus, then the music becomes secondary.
  • I'm really interested in timeliness. Whether in music, art or fashion. I like the idea of not being able to tell what era something is from.
  • There's a famous saying: God surely gave us the potato blight, but the British gave us a famine. There was fish in the sea, there was beef in the fields, but we ate the potatoes.
