Quotes by Reggie Watts

“[Performers always come back from the Edinburgh festival with adventure stories. Watts told a few: meeting a young kilt maker who spent a year in a madhouse after eating too much LSD, and accompanying Seattle actor and musician Michael McQuilken (of Collaborator Productions) to the hospital after a Frisbee accident.] He reached up to catch it and cut his hand on a sign, ... He had to get a few stitches, but I think he can still play.”

“I think people thought it was a little weird that the first one went to an American, ... I wasnt expecting it at all.”

“Really topical, specific humor is harder to do abroad, ... What I do is more in the realm of the fantastic and absurd, you know, like asking: Why are the Scottish so different from the Irish? Because the Scots drink a lot of water and the Irish wont stop walking.”

I think the end goal, hopefully, is to take advantage of the attention Ive gotten along the way and use it for good and build some communities, and as I get older I can continue to do things and be surrounded by things that are inspirational to me.

I have visualizations where Im living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. Thats really the thing Id love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me.

I dont think immortality is necessarily the key to understanding the world. You have to be careful with what you think youre achieving. Im all for science discovering amazing and fantastic things about our world, but I think the motivations behind it are slightly askew.

If you pay attention to the world, its an amazing place. If you dont, its whatever you think it is.
