I am a horrible visual artist. I can't fix a car, sew, knit, cook, etc. Statistically, there is more I don't do than do.

More quotes by Carrie Brownstein
It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.
Carrie Brownstein
With Portlandia, I don't think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We're okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
Carrie Brownstein
I think that the intentions are genuine in the search for authenticity, but it can tip over into absurdity so quickly. I just start to wonder, like, what authenticity even is, and whether we can even start to define it in such a globalized world.
Carrie Brownstein
I'm always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever.
Carrie Brownstein
Just invest in apps. Just download apps and then pay yourself the dividend.
Carrie Brownstein
I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.
Carrie Brownstein
I think you should be prepared for a green-screen CGI at all times.
Carrie Brownstein
From a self-conscious standpoint, it's hard to see myself on a screen in a way that isn't just me playing music or doing something silly.
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
We brainstorm an idea and then we do flesh it out a little bit - we come up with a script, mostly to have beats and a sense of a story and a narrative arc. Often when we get into the space and onto the location, that changes and something we discover in the moment becomes the moment, becomes the story, becomes the character.
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
If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.
Carrie Brownstein
I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
Carrie Brownstein
I'm interested in the crevices, and the grotesque, and the unsavory. That started out when I was young... I've never quite been able to shake that.
Carrie Brownstein
I don't think you need to sound like from where you're from. But I think there is something magical and powerful about encompassing something fully and singularly.
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
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
To me, curiosity is married to optimism. And that's where a lot of my motivation comes from. A lot of my way out of depression and anxiety is that intersection between optimism and curiosity. Because it means taking a step forward with the hope that there will be discovery.
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
I don't want to mislead people.
