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

I think in some ways, whether you've ever actually been to Portland, people definitely understand this highly curated niche lifestyle, because a lot of people are sort of striving for that now. Or they're hating on it.
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.

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 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
If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.
Carrie Brownstein
I feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.
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
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 don't want to mislead people.
Carrie Brownstein
It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.
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
Just invest in apps. Just download apps and then pay yourself the dividend.
Carrie Brownstein
Practice. Learn and then unlearn - that's the trick in finding your own style of playing. You can't merely emulate, you have to innovate, or at the very least create your own path into the process.
