There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture.

More quotes by Feist
I've always been a bit wary of keyboards because there's an invisibility to it - you're not really hitting anything.
Feist
If you calculate every single thing you could possibly need in your life, you would need no more than 200 people to keep all that afloat: a doctor, food, wine, cheese-eating friends, the person who makes paper, the shoemaker.

I find it pretty fascinating how humans keep gravitating towards these giant centers. I went to this walled medieval village in France this year, and it was truly the most crazy, beautiful, bizarre place I've ever been.
Feist
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.

Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through.
Feist
I'd hear some beautiful Sade or Kings Of Convenience ballad remixed in a club and I liked that these simple little songs seemed to be masquerading. They had put on superhero costumes, got all beefy, and here they were on the dancefloor. I was interested in that. I can't make electronic beats, so I leave it to the pros like Boys Noize and Chromeo.

Well, there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go, there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people, and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
Feist
Because there's just so much in a day now, I keep writing in much more abstract terms, like I don't try to write about what happened anymore. It would be impossible.
Feist
Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.
Feist
I know more than I knew before I didn't rest I didn't stop Did we fight or did we talk.
Feist
But that constant adjustment and adaptation to your new environment, all the variables are the same. There's always a promoter, there's always a rider, there's always a shower, and there's always a stage.
Feist
I think that's more a reflection of the fact I've never been a student of any particular school of writing, or even listening.
Feist
I think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.
Feist
A year's a long time, but it also flickers past in no time at all.
Feist
I was in a crazy, private, awesome bubble again, and that's when I started to write.
Feist
When I'm in a city that's just clean, concrete lines, I get really short of breath and confused. It's much more interesting to me when nature is creeping back and tearing the mortar apart between the bricks.
Feist
If you keep bashing your head against the same wall, at some point you're going to fall over and be still for awhile.
Feist
I was grateful to be away from all that familiarity, to have a chance to do something anonymously.
Feist
I never really lived outside of the city growing up, but I'm always looking in between the lines of the city, and I magnetize over to the green spots.
