More quotes by 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
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
A lot of music for me was about - I mean aside from the fun and challenge of writing and being really good friends with my bandmates - getting to perform.
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'm kind of a hermit. it's almost easier for me to write about connection than to actually connect.
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
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
These new bands sound like Gang of Four — if Gang of Four sucked.
Carrie Brownstein
I think you should be prepared for a green-screen CGI at all times.
Carrie Brownstein
I'm really drawn to the uncompromising realness of natural process: It's unadorned. It's not very pretty.
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
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.
Carrie Brownstein
I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
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
Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.
Carrie Brownstein
The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.
Carrie Brownstein
Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.
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.
Carrie Brownstein
I have no desire to play music unless I need music.
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.
