More quotes by Emily Haines
Lots of people take the option of not activating their own life, of really letting it happen.
Emily Haines
It's not my fault that people are perverts.
Emily Haines
I think that every band is different, and in fact that's one of the biggest problems with the old-school music industry is that... one band would be successful according to a certain approach, and then every other band in the label gets sent down the same tube.
Emily Haines
Life is passing you by as you speak, you're on a path and you're all on the same path toward death.
Emily Haines
Sometimes it's better to live through someone's work than the person themselves, and to realise that every human being is flawed, but through art they can be perfect.
Emily Haines
You don't want to be conscious of everything.
Emily Haines
We don't have T-shirts with my face, but there I can see the beginnings, especially young girls seeing me as sort of a icon in that way. And in that regard I'm more than happy to step in.
Emily Haines
Until the day we die, our lives are unwritten, which is sometimes a terrifying thought.
Emily Haines
It's very hard to separate what is a conscious decision and what's not.
Emily Haines
The complete self-absorption, and childish indulgence and disregard, and having to feel as though everything you're doing is so people can live vicariously through you, so you have to pursue more and more unpleasant pastimes in order to satisfy the armchair people. That's a kind of scary existence.
Emily Haines
I'm a chick for sure.
Emily Haines
[When I happen to] read interviews where people are such pros and they come out looking so good, [it comes off as] a little smug or something.
Emily Haines
I like the idea of interviews where you just talk about stuff instead of where it's my chance to talk to my public through something else.
Emily Haines
I just write what comes to me. I didn't sit down and say ok, here is my statement. It's just a song that has a shout out.
Emily Haines
I see how 14-year old girls react to me and I think I'm a good role model. Rockstar maybe not, but I'm willing to play with it for a little while, until my hair gets gray.
Emily Haines
I like the idea that you would participate in mainstream culture, especially for young girls and young kids who are looking for an alternative. It's not that I'm superior, but I know that my heart is in it more than people who get into music for other reasons.
Emily Haines
Believe in the power of songs.
Emily Haines
Of course there are influences, of course there are things that are inspiring, but it's weird to think that I'm trying to keep a mental inventory of them and report them clearly to whomever might ask.
Emily Haines
In my imaginary utopian world there would be a greater allegiance between music writers and musicians.
Emily Haines
[When] you're a writer, you know that a lot of times you have to sneak up on yourself in order to achieve what you want to achieve, and sometimes you don't even know what it is until you've done it.
