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 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.

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
