Me

Rap is the only super-current music. If you're into reggae or dancehall, and you don't know Bob Marley, then you don't really know what you're listening to. But if you're listening to rap, and you're 15, you're like, 'Grandmaster Flash? Who's that? Public Enemy? Yeah, my dad told me about them once.' And that's just how it is.

Mom
|
Nov 07, 2020

I lost my mom when I was young.

Nov 07, 2020

You think about when you're with your friend, and you hang out with your friend. And then you go do whatever you're doing, your life. You know, and then you see your friend again.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

All generations think the present moment is the greatest but also have this fascination with before their time. I do the same thing. I see old British movies.

I Wish
|

Trump is kind of fascinating. I wish he was only seen in black-and-white 'cause he's like a character from the 1890s.

Black

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's songs you listen to at really heavy times, and you associate those songs with being depressed. 'English Rose' by The Jam, I can't listen to - it's just too heavy for me. 'Julia' by The Beatles, too. That popped up the other day, and I had to skip to the next song. They're both really awesome, moving songs, but I can't listen to them.

It takes a lot of guts to get on stage.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

Name
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I know Noah Baumbach from a long time ago. We were hanging out one night, and he asked if I wanted to be in his movie. If somebody whose stuff you really like says, 'Hey, you want to do it with me?,' you got to do it. I would like to say that I get these offers all the time, but I don't.

Know

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

Our music is weird. It's not pop. I don't know why so many people buy our records.

Doing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Mike is the craziest person. He's scattered; he's all over the place. When you hold him down and tell him, 'This is what you're doing,' he's fantastic. But you have to hold him down. Like, when he had to write his verse for 'Hello Nasty,' we had to take his phone away to get him to do it.

Pause
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Paul's Boutique' was a bust, right? That was a bummer. We didn't pause on it for a long time - we didn't go through therapy - but it was weird. And because it was a bust, we didn't go on tour.

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

We never thought we were musicians. We just thought we were in a band.

Good Movie
|
Nov 07, 2020

'The Squid and the Whale' was a really good movie.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

You'd think that my acting in 'Lost Angels' would have been the reason why I gave up on it. But yeah, I'm just not that good at it. Auditioning is super weird, and I'm bad at it.

Guess
|
Nov 07, 2020

I guess I'm the guy from the Beastie Boys. I'm one of the guys from the Beastie Boys. I guess that's what I'll always identify myself as.

Cool
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I could sing, that would be cool. But I can't. I mean, I physically can, but I'm awful. It's weird to be really bad at singing.

Better Things
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Alternative facts' is really one of the better things that's come out in a long time. 'Alternative facts?' It's brilliant! Really? Alternative facts? There are two different realities?

I don't want to have a real job. No one wants to have a job.

Person
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't really get a lot of stuff sent to me, but I do get things given to me in person. One of my favorites was from a kid in the mid-'90s. He gave us all a bunch of pants he made.

Must

Nov 07, 2020

I do dream. I mean, I must every night, right? But I only remember a couple a year.

Loved
|
Nov 07, 2020

We were from downtown, so we were rapping in Danceteria, in these white downtown clubs, really. Nobody downtown was rapping. Nobody we knew was rapping. So we were like, 'We should do it.' We weren't making fun of it; we loved it, and we wanted to be part of it.

Creativity

Nov 07, 2020

That's what real punk is about - doing it yourself and building a community where people share ideas and share creativity.

Doing
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Grand Royal' started because we were on the Lollapalooza tour, and we wanted to send this message to people that the mosh pit is corny. Stop doing that. MTV has ruined it, and it's dangerous, and girls are getting hurt.

Get
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Licensed to Ill' was like a cold, and we took so much vitamin C that we'd never get that cold again.

Coconut

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

Champagne Jerry records are definitely, in one way, on the very far end of the weird spectrum of rap music, then, in another way, very far on the weird punk spectrum.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

I head a Salt-n-Pepa song one time, where they named every rapper in New York. And they didn't name us!

He
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like Mike D. We kept trying to get him to go solo. He wouldn't do it.

Nov 07, 2020

Listening to the radio makes you hate every song.

Nov 07, 2020

I don't know why we sold a lot of records or why so many people came to see us. Like 'Sabotage' - would you put that song on, like, 'I'm gonna listen to that right now?' It's a weird choice.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

The tapes we were making would jump around with different styles, just quick parts of different songs. Hip-hop to jazz to funk to whatever else. And in a way, 'Check Your Head' ended up being like one of those pause-tapes.

King
|
Nov 07, 2020

You know how there's all these rappers like Mike D and King T and Ice T and Cool C or something like that? Well, on Mayberry, on 'Andy Griffith,' they had Aunt B.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

I know that when I get down or feel alone or depressed, I make music, and it makes me happy.

Drawing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I would say think about the thing that makes you happiest, and do that. If it's drawing or dancing or listening to music or bowling, whatever it is that makes you happy, I would focus on that, and you'll definitely gain some confidence.

I Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love being in the Beastie Boys.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wonder what it would have been like if I could actually sing.

Crazy
|
Nov 07, 2020

Stuff used to get me really crazy, touring stuff. I used to hide. I hid from everybody. Back in '87, when things were so hectic, I'd run away. There was so much pressure.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

What I work hardest at is just trying to not let things get me crazy.

Me

Nov 07, 2020

Part of me feels it's better we're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Nov 07, 2020

I grew up - my dad, every time I was with my dad, he was always - not always, but he wrote. He's a writer. So he was always in his office writing. He made a plan and, like, a point of, 'This is my work. I'm going to do this every day for these amount of hours.' So I think that's where I got, like, a work sort of ethic.

Nov 07, 2020

Some of the stuff that I say on 'License to Ill,' I say some real dumb stuff.

Nov 07, 2020

When I was in a couple of movies in the '80s, I was winging it.
