“I told Elliott Smith before he died that almost every piece of art I’ve made from 1993 to 2002 had his music in it. He said, “That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever told me.”

“I just wish people would be good to each other. I’d wish to be impervious to pain of any kind. And I’d wish that for all my friends.” Elliott Smith

“I can’t find anything or anyone I really want to be besides myself. There’s a lot of things I want to do, nothing I really want to be.”

“If you call it writing, it sounds like some sort of concentrated effort, calculated and deliberate. Some people can do it like that, but it isn’t my way. I can’t get anything done if I sit down and say I’m going to write a song. Too much concentration makes my imagination shut down. I like distractions - which is why I make things up in bars or on the subway or walking around… All the impressions you get in a minute or an hour are countless. All that stuff people absorb but have no use for because they can’t use it to make money or whatever. For me, that comes out in songs.” Elliott Smith

“In 1999, I got turned down over the phone for a press pass to the Rolling Stones show in Charlotte that night, and ten minutes later, got a phone call offering a press pass to the Elliott Smith show that same night at Tremont Music Hall. Elliott came onstage wearing a vintage Rolling Stones t-shirt. I still haven’t seen the Stones, but I still think I ended up where I was supposed to be that night. Elliott was really good that night. The crowd was so quiet and reverent, Elliott got spooked and thought that they weren’t into the show. So he just said, “Goodnight”, and that was it! He came out to sign autographs after the show. I talked to him for a few minutes. He was very nice, and didn’t talk much beyond a whisper. I still have the album he signed, “To Daniel, XO Elliott Smith.” A few years ago, I decided to scan my photos from that night. I finished about half-a-roll (I shot four rolls of film, that night), started looking at the photos, and just…. stopped. A flood of emotions really hit me. Hard. I still haven’t scanned the rest of the photos. I need to. Someday.”
