More quotes by Carrie Brownstein
The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.
Carrie Brownstein
I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.
Carrie Brownstein
There are foods you should avoid. For me, sugar is a no. Because it gives me a spike and then a crash.
Carrie Brownstein
The fact that people go to Portland to visit a tiny feminist bookstore-no matter what the impetus is for them getting there-the fact that they go in there and look around and shop for books or stationery or whatever, is a major source of pride for me.
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
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 guess the role of art is to make something that is ambiguous and complex.

Carrie Brownstein
Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.
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.

I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.
Carrie Brownstein
You do have to live through things, and to live through things is to observe want, and to observe lacking. Even if the hunger is a curiosity.
Carrie Brownstein
These new bands sound like Gang of Four — if Gang of Four sucked.
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
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 feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.
Carrie Brownstein
I like to connect with people through my work. That's my favorite way - meetings of the minds, fans at a show. Those are nice mediated ways of hanging out.
