More quotes by Carrie Brownstein
I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.
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
I think when you're writing from your own life, it's hard because you realize that people have their own assessment of how they look, and they don't know how you will describe them.
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
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.
Carrie Brownstein
With Sleater-Kinney, we did a lot of improvisation in our live shows, and even our process of songwriting involved bringing in disparate parts and putting them together to form something cohesive.
Carrie Brownstein
Once you're away from music, I realize that's as intrinsic to who I am as anything else. That's the part that takes me out of my brain.
Carrie Brownstein
I think hypochondria always plays a part in the healthcare landscape.
Carrie Brownstein
People give the words life through their own adoration or relationship to the work, and that's true of everything. You can't divorce critical or fan reaction. Once it exists, you forget that the words are arbitrary, or you start to remove value.
Carrie Brownstein
I feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.
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
These new bands sound like Gang of Four — if Gang of Four sucked.
Carrie Brownstein
Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.
Carrie Brownstein
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
The internet is just a scary place. It's better to just go to the doctor. Don't let Google get inside your head. It will do bad things to you.
Carrie Brownstein
I don't want to mislead people.
Carrie Brownstein
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.
Carrie Brownstein
I got kind of tired of playing, I think. But I think it will be part of my life again, maybe.
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 have no desire to play music unless I need music.
