More quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
I had a teacher's degree and a degree in Oriental Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts. I thought I was going to India to study but all of a sudden, I had a career in music. It really surprised me.

I feel sorry for people of good heart who have never had a chance to learn the realities of Native American everything - not just our history but the sweetness and the beauty and the reasons why were so close to Mother Earth.

What can government do? They can listen to their own people. But I'll tell you what citizens can do, when we elect one of these people - whether we think it's a good guy or a bozo - you got to stay on the case. You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar...Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel...This song (Until It's Time for You To Go) popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.

Buffy Sainte-Marie
I sang a song in Hindi nobody even knew what that was. Singing about Native American issues, nobody did that... I had no reason to want to copy anybody else... All I had was my originality.
Buffy Sainte-Marie

Buffy Sainte-Marie
Grab a guitar, put some kind of strings on it, a banjo string, then a violin string, then a guitar string, tune it any way you want, and make some noise, and see what you get. And work on it until you get something that you think is interesting. That's all there is to art for me.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.

Children don't have to be raised. They'll grow.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
People sometimes ask me, because of the blacklisting, Do you hate the government? Don't you hate white people? No, it's greed that's the problem.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Everybody's creative. We create our songs and our paintings, our families and our children. Every one of us is on the cutting edge of the future.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

I had no reason to want to copy anybody else. What I wanted to give audiences for the few minutes that I thought my career would last was something unique.
