daisy jones and the six bot

But any way you wanted to spin it, I was angry. It wasn’t rational. I mean, what ever really is? But as irrational as it was, I was livid. I was furious. There was rage in my chest.

Karen: It was our baby but it was my responsibility.

I admit I’m feeling lonelier than lonely these days, with you and your sisters spread out all over the country and your mom gone.

Billy: It’s an album about the push and pull of stability and instability.

They were… Billy and Daisy together was like tending a little fire. Good if controlled. Just keep the kerosene away from it and we’ll all be fine.

I looked over at Karen and she was in it, you know? And then I looked at Billy, and he’s singing his heart out and I thought, This is our best show yet.

There’s this peace that comes with knowing you have a person in the world who would do anything for you, that you would do anything for.

You know, when you have music that has all the knots sanded down and the scratches buffed out… where’s the emotion in that?

Watching Billy play the piano and look at Daisy, I thought, I hope Camila doesn’t see this.

Karen: Camila wanted kids. Me, I always knew kids weren’t in the cards for me. I think it’s a feeling you get. I think you have it in your heart or you don’t.

It went from a song about your best memories to a song about what you can and can’t remember. I had to admit it was more subtle, more complicated. Much more open to interpretation.

“There’s no water in the sink/and the bathtub leaks/but I’ll hold your warm body in a cold shower/stand there with you and waste the hours.”

None of us told Daisy this and I… I hesitate in even saying it now but… her first two takes were god-awful. I mean, wow.

But if you get to be my age and you can’t look back at your life and wonder about some of your choices… well, you have no imagination.

"And no matter where we are, no matter what time of day it is, the world is dark and we are two blinking lights. Flashing at the same time. Neither one of us flashing alone.”

If I’ve given the impression that trust is easy—with your spouse, with your kids, with anybody you care about—if I’ve made it seem like it’s easy to do… then I’ve misspoken. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

It just became so perfectly clear to me that I had been holding on tightly to the possibility. The possibility of Daisy. And suddenly, I was having a very hard time with the idea of letting that go. Of saying, “Never.”

My voice was calling to me and telling me to go get a tequila. And that’s what I was going to do. I couldn’t help anyone else. I couldn’t do anything for anybody.

Where I was not myself. Actually, no. I don’t like putting it that way—you’re never not yourself. You’re always you. It’s just, sometimes, who you are… who you are is a shitty person.

Warren: I met Niccolo and I went, Oh, okay, got it. This guy’s a con artist.
