More quotes by 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'm kind of a hermit. it's almost easier for me to write about connection than to actually connect.
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 learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
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.

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
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.

I think hypochondria always plays a part in the healthcare landscape.
Carrie Brownstein
People are wearing fleece, which is a hard fabric to be angry in.
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
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
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.
Carrie Brownstein
There are foods you should avoid. For me, sugar is a no. Because it gives me a spike and then a crash.

Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.
Carrie Brownstein
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'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
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
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 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.
