Just invest in apps. Just download apps and then pay yourself the dividend.
Carrie Brownstein
I feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.
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.

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.

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

Carrie Brownstein
If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.
Carrie Brownstein
Well, in some ways I had sort of the opposite experience of other people that are sort of dreaming of being in a rock band. I was dreaming of like corporate lunches and just like, and I'm not really joking. Like the whole idea to me was really appealing.
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 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.
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
I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
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'm kind of a hermit. it's almost easier for me to write about connection than to actually connect.
Carrie Brownstein
I think proteins are really good for your brain. And your brain is where comedy comes from.
