Jeff Buckley: Everybody Here Wants You (2002 TV Movie)

Jeff Buckley: Self

Quotes 

• Jeff Buckley : Half of the art of making records is letting the whole thing go... even your mistakes. The nature of it is excruciating. Or, it's obsessive. Because you're dealing with ultimate things. You know? It's not like a live show where you play it and it just disappears into the air like smoke. It's like painting - sound painting.

• Interviewer : Extraordinary voice. I mean, everybody knows your dad is Tim Buckley, of course. I mean, he sort of had that same sense of abandon, didn't he?

  Jeff Buckley : Yeah - he abandoned *me*.

• Jeff Buckley : Can I say something? I don't hate my father. And I don't resent him existing. It's just something that I've grown up with all my life - not being part of the life that has so much energy over here, and having my own. ... It's my way of resisting people's trivialization of my music. If it should be known, and it should, I have a great, great admiration for Tim and what he did, and some things that he did completely embarrass me to hell, but the things that were great, I'll hold up against anything. But that's a respect as a fellow artist, because he really wasn't my father; my father was Ron Moorhead. But, because I've done so many interviews and I look at the page, I think that the feeling that comes across... it's not accurate, it shouldn't be remembered as that.

• Jeff Buckley : [asked how he would like to be remembered]  As a good friend. I don't really need to be remembered - I hope the music's remembered.

• Jeff Buckley : "Grace" is basically a death prayer. Not something of sorrow but just casting away any fear of death. No relief will come, you'll really just have to stew in your life until it's time to go. But sometimes, somebody else's faith in you can do wonders.
