I think cults are probably a little less scary. To me, it's scarier that 25 people would wear robes and jump up and down and try to convert everyone to happiness than a Kool-Aid suicide.

More quotes by Annie E. Clark
For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.
Annie E. Clark
I wouldn't say I'm a very technical [guitar] player. I'm more intuitive - it's always more about chasing an abstraction.
Annie E. Clark
An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.
Annie E. Clark
I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that's another guitar hero.
Annie E. Clark
All these things that we are very nostalgic for come from a place of technology dictating [art]. This time and place is no different.
Annie E. Clark
I like to deal with my dark side in a creative way, and just sing about killing people instead of actually doing it.
Annie E. Clark
I just think that the question of women in rock or women playing guitar, I just think it's such a non-issue, and I think that probably the sooner critics and press outlets can just erase the 'what's it like being a women in rock?' question from their vocabulary, the better off everyone will be.
Annie E. Clark
I got offstage and was just looking at my hands, and they were shaking. I was like, 'I wanna kill someone! What's happening?'
Annie E. Clark
I have a phobia of checking voicemail. I watched a lot of TV as a kid, and everything is, like, you're gonna get kidnapped, or somebody's gonna die, or killer bees are going to take you out. I'm a very anxious person.
Annie E. Clark
I'd listen to things that felt really good in the moment and realize they were clouded by enthusiasm or caffeine. And things that I was struggling to get out ended up being really compelling. It's an emotional roller coaster there's exhilaration and there's shame.
Annie E. Clark
I was like the roadie, I was carrying gear, checking things in at airports, making sure they had flowers backstage and interfacing with promoters who were sometimes really nice and sometimes a little seedy. It was a great apprenticeship, to be in the music industry.
Annie E. Clark
The schematics are a little bit tricky, but once you get it down you're able to really program an entire show. Every song has a lot of different guitar sounds in it, so that's what it is.
Annie E. Clark
I was a lusty kid who loved Tennessee Williams. Sexy plays. [For musicians] there are so many that it's hard just to say one. Certain things, like the first time you hear A Love Supreme, you're floored. It takes whatever you were listening to and blows a hole in it.
Annie E. Clark
Everybody's got a dark side, but mine doesn't include being around people who are mean.
Annie E. Clark
Checking voicemail is like, When's the other shoe going to drop? I'm always afraid it's going to be terrible news I don't want to hear.
Annie E. Clark
CDs are usually an hour long because that's the amount a CD could hold - not because that's the optimal amount of time for any given musical expression.
Annie E. Clark
Music is kind of a strange business, and it's too weird of a job to have mean, conniving people around.
Annie E. Clark
Putting your ego aside and confronting your weaknesses and just letting things happen is hard. Not to use a Scientology term, but it's difficult to do an emotional or an artistic audit.
Annie E. Clark
I do love the ceremony of putting on a record but I don't have space for a vinyl collection.
Annie E. Clark
Every part of every song can have a totally different musical sound, because otherwise if I wanted to go from a verse of one song to the chorus of another, I'd have to go: Uh, okay, press that pedal and then... press that pedal, and then press that pedal off.
Annie E. Clark
