Quotes

"I want people to listen to my music and have a good time - dance and fall in love or whatever. It's great if music means something to people on a deeper level, if you can relate to lyrics and feel special. That's what I want to do when I hear music or see a movie. I want the music to be special to me, in someway made specially for me and fitting my personality."
 
"I just want to continue introducing my music to new people. There are a lot of people I want to meet and perform for that haven't heard of me and don't know how to pronounce my name. I want to continue playing and showing people what I do." [http://www.chicagoinnerview.com/archives/may04_sondre_lerche.htm]
 
“Everyone says [their music] is cheesy and so lifeless and slick. But once you’re hooked—and for me it took a lot of time—but it was kind of like a drug. The more I heard it, the more it opened up. And in terms of pop music, it’s definitely as well written and complex as it gets—the structure, the chords, the harmonies. It’s so clever and so…so…ahhh.”   on steely dan

“But, yeah, Whole Foods is addictive. I love it. I want them to sponsor me.”  (http://www.indierockresource.com/features/slerche/slerche.htm)

 
"Remember if you have to much 'bling-bling' or cash you should go to Mike (guy selling stuff) and buy a shirt or something-NO PRESSURE only if you want"
-Sondre

"I just asked him for an autograph and a picture at one of his solo shows. I was 12 and my mother was with me. I stood waiting outside his door after the gig and he wouldn’t come out. It was really late. When he finally came out, I said to him, 'My God, how can you sleep keeping your fans waiting like this! I’m 12 years old and I start school at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, so you better get moving with that autograph so I can go home to bed!' I was really angry" on meeting Morten Harket
 
"It's one of those songs that has you search for a reason to cry, simply beacause it's so beautiful. Most of the time, you are abel to find a reason, if you look hard enough. I didn't even look that hard." about a song called "I Used To Be A Design" by the Heavy Blinkers

"Last night we recorded a newly written song called "It's Our Job". Starting out I had no big ambitions for the song, it was just one of those "small" highway songs I tend to write after making a mistake." oct 22, 2002

"Actually, I forced my mother to buy me a guitar! But I have to tell you, for the first two years I was really, really bad. I was completely lazy and never practiced. I took lessons at school but was never taught anything I could relate to. It wasn't until they started teaching styles like Bossa Nova that there was something I could use."
