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.

As a kid, before I got into music, I did all the drama classes, went to theater camp in the summers, so it wasn't totally a foreign world.

Image
No matter what people are struggling with, or based on whatever. Sexuality, ethnicity, economic status, size. I don't wish smallness for anyone. It's a terrible place to live.

With Portlandia, I don't think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We're okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

Image
I am a horrible visual artist. I can't fix a car, sew, knit, cook, etc. Statistically, there is more I don't do than do.
Carrie Brownstein
Image
I got kind of tired of playing, I think. But I think it will be part of my life again, maybe.

Just invest in apps. Just download apps and then pay yourself the dividend.

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.

If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.

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.

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.

Image
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.

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'm really drawn to the uncompromising realness of natural process: It's unadorned. It's not very pretty.
