Interviews


  • “Being a physicist, my father was a great believer in progress, but he also loved nature. He was a photographer, and outside of taking the occasional family photographs, all he did was photograph nature. He loved birds. That meant a lot to me growing up. Healthy progress also means we have to be concerned for the environment. That may have something to do with what I believe about farming.”
    • "The Craftsman: Dave Matthews," interview by Dave Hoekstra for Farm Aid

  • "That's the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because we're not going to follow their cues. We're not going to stick to a song the way it's supposed to be. Everything is up to us. That's music to me. That's American music. We're an American band." -- Dave Matthews, Rolling Stone interview "The Boys of Summer" (June 16, 2005). Eliscu, Jenny (2005). "The Boys of Summer" Rolling Stone (accessed June 19. 2006)

  • "I'm way more American than George Bush and Dick Cheney." -- Dave Matthews, Rolling Stone interview "The Devil and Dave Matthews" (January 22, 2004)

Concert comments

  • So I watched the Pink Panther last night, and so I'm trying desperately to be funny, and then it's just not working out so good... I wonder if maybe I could've been a comedian or something like that, or maybe I could've been a doctor, then I wouldn't have to make anyone laugh.
    • Intro to "Dancing Nancies", Live at Luther College

  • Oh! We already, we done already done it, done it, dammit! I could you know, like, sing a thing, and then not sing it for a little while, and then sing it again... and people would be like, "Why'd he sing that again?"
    • Before "Halloween", Live at Luther College
