“I wanna simplify so far back to the point where I see the buffalo, and I grab the piece of charcoal and I go to the cave. And I sketch the buffalo on the cave wall. That’s the highest art. You know, the caveman certainly wasn’t tying to fucking impress the girl down the street that worked in a record store with his goddamn caveman drawing. People couldn’t understand how beautiful that buffalo was, and something compelled him to go to that wall and draw a buffalo on the wall because he dreamt of buffalo. His relationship was directly with God, not even with the cave wall or the charcoal. He’s like ‘I see buffalo. I recreate buffalo’. That’s all it is. I want to get there.” – Ryan Adams
