Great Quotations: Ben Gibbard

Videos by American Songwriter

“Writing is such a solitary act. You spend hours alone, only with your thoughts, and you torture yourself. It’s a tendency of many writers to temper the self-destructive act of writing with other self-destructive acts. I certainly was one of those people for a long time.”

– Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, addressing his former addiction to alcohol. (via Spin)
