There was a clarity to the Nineties. It was pre-9/11, before that anxiety kicked in that exists right now about the financial crisis or terrorism. We were all just going to move forward into the millennium and everything was always going to get better. Then, whoops, that didn't happen.

People are wearing fleece, which is a hard fabric to be angry in.
Carrie Brownstein
Image
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
Image
I think proteins are really good for your brain. And your brain is where comedy comes from.
Carrie Brownstein

For me, being in shape means, like, not having cynicism out-weigh optimism on a daily basis.

I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
Carrie Brownstein
Image
I think that there's always an assumption, when a band goes on hiatus or stops playing, that there's some acrimony brewing under the surface.
Carrie Brownstein
Image
I got kind of tired of playing, I think. But I think it will be part of my life again, maybe.

Image
I think hypochondria always plays a part in the healthcare landscape.

I've never been in another kind of midlife crisis. I don't know what it feels like when you're through that, but I definitely feel that changing a few things, like being on a different label and having things kind of settle back into a sense of normality, helps to feel grounded.
