You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.

More quotes by Brandi Carlile
But now, with the last two years of touring and being on the road, I've learned that a live show should never sound like a record a record should sound like a live show.
Brandi Carlile
Coffee, whiskey, and fishing poles. That’s really all you need in life.
Brandi Carlile
So much of the way a singer physically damages their voice could be caused by stress or nerves. I would never be so brazen as to assume that it's the only problem but there's got to be a reason that a martial artist can harness enough peace to smash his head through a cinder block without leaving a scratch.
Brandi Carlile
Writing is sort of putting a puzzle together halfway. Then, performing it has always been the completion of it. Once that happens, I'm feeling verbally communal with other people. It's out there and I feel so much better about it.
Brandi Carlile
I believe that writing for me is in a way like wisdom in that as soon as you feel like you've got it figured out you stop growing and maybe even lose something.
Brandi Carlile
I tend to support and get behind issues instead of candidates, because of the whole 'Super Bowl' generalization of our world - You're on this side, I'm on that side you're a Republican, I'm a Democrat you're country music, I'm rock music.
Brandi Carlile
You know, your first album is about really amazing things. Your first album is always about coming of age, first love, first loss, usually you suffer a first loss of someone that you love to death, even, you know, really big life lessons, things you learn from your parents' divorce or from the travels that you took.
Brandi Carlile
Even before I had a daughter, I was passionate about global women's issues, but now that she's here, I'm even more inspired to leave a better world for Evangeline.
Brandi Carlile
I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.
Brandi Carlile
You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye.
Brandi Carlile
I stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.
Brandi Carlile
In life, I'm most inspired by entertaining people and driven by the desire to do it by such a powerful force that I think it influences everything I do.
Brandi Carlile
Privilege and complacency paralyze me with fear sometimes. But the less vulnerable we are because of privilege, the country we're born in, or the security we enjoy, the more vulnerable our souls are to apathy.
Brandi Carlile
There's a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend - we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It's a little bit dangerous, because you'll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.
Brandi Carlile
Singing is a form of meditation... apparently the only one that I have command over.
Brandi Carlile
The mole can't live in your dollhouse.
Brandi Carlile
People that could yodel always fascinated me. People that could sing loud always fascinated me. So I started trying to mimic at a really young age: 6, 7 years old.
Brandi Carlile
All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.
Brandi Carlile
There is a creator and a redeemer, and the purpose of it all is love.
Brandi Carlile
My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
