I don't think you need to sound like from where you're from. But I think there is something magical and powerful about encompassing something fully and singularly.

More quotes by Carrie Brownstein
Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.
Carrie Brownstein
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
You can't bury a part of yourself that's so innate to who you've been, even if it's not for the sake of anything other than a pure enjoyment of it.
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
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'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
For me, being in shape means, like, not having cynicism out-weigh optimism on a daily basis.
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.
Carrie Brownstein
I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.
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'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'm really drawn to the uncompromising realness of natural process: It's unadorned. It's not very pretty.
Carrie Brownstein
I'm interested in the crevices, and the grotesque, and the unsavory. That started out when I was young... I've never quite been able to shake that.
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
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.
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
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
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
It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.
Carrie Brownstein
I like to connect with people through my work. That's my favorite way - meetings of the minds, fans at a show. Those are nice mediated ways of hanging out.
Carrie Brownstein
