I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.

More quotes by Carrie Brownstein
If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.
Carrie Brownstein
For me, being in shape means, like, not having cynicism out-weigh optimism on a daily basis.
Carrie Brownstein
No matter what people are struggling with, or based on whatever. Sexuality, ethnicity, economic status, size. I don't wish smallness for anyone. It's a terrible place to live.
Carrie Brownstein
As a kid, before I got into music, I did all the drama classes, went to theater camp in the summers, so it wasn't totally a foreign world.
Carrie Brownstein
Practice. Learn and then unlearn - that's the trick in finding your own style of playing. You can't merely emulate, you have to innovate, or at the very least create your own path into the process.
Carrie Brownstein
A lot of music for me was about - I mean aside from the fun and challenge of writing and being really good friends with my bandmates - getting to perform.
Carrie Brownstein
The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.
Carrie Brownstein
Florida is such an unlikely place for a band, unless you're an emo or hardcore band. In terms of the touring route, or even the way the geography works in terms of bands and communities, Florida's always been this appendage that you either cut it off and dismiss it, or you somehow include it in your scope.
Carrie Brownstein
People are wearing fleece, which is a hard fabric to be angry in.
Carrie Brownstein
I think hypochondria always plays a part in the healthcare landscape.
Carrie Brownstein
I like to take things incrementally, and strive for something that feels more attainable.
Carrie Brownstein
When I'm cynical, I seek out bands that are fully participating and trying to push something forward. Or I can just start playing music again - which is happening with a new project. But I think it's always a challenge to overcome cynicism and not get bogged down by a sense of nostalgia. That can be such a stifling feeling.
Carrie Brownstein
I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.
Carrie Brownstein
I wrote so much about fandom and participation for NPR that I eventually realized my most fertile way of participating in music is to actually play it, at least in a way that made the most sense to me.
Carrie Brownstein
For film and television, it's interesting how fans feel that their particular ways of manifesting their affections are the correct ones. It's not just about being a fan, it's about how you perform your fandom. That's always been interesting to me.
Carrie Brownstein
Rock Band is more like Stairmaster than it is like rock 'n' roll - it's the same steps with different degrees of difficulty.
Carrie Brownstein
I'm kind of a hermit. it's almost easier for me to write about connection than to actually connect.
Carrie Brownstein
You can't bury a part of yourself that's so innate to who you've been, even if it's not for the sake of anything other than a pure enjoyment of it.
Carrie Brownstein
It wasn't just like, I want to make a record that sounds like classic rock at all. It was more like, I want to make a record that is a little more unsettling and maybe isn't as easily understood now. That just seemed more important, like, for me to make as an artist, than it was to make something to make people feel safe right away.
Carrie Brownstein
Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.
