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
Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.
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
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
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.

Feist
You hit a guitar, you hit a note, you hit a drum, you hit an organ. Meat and potatoes. Simplicity. Not getting too caught up in little tweezers of perfection.
Feist
With music, I wasn't curious anymore. There was no dialogue. By the time I stopped, I knew it wasn't going to be gone forever, but it just wasn't the right time for me to care about that.
Feist
No matter who weaves in and out of your life, regardless of the quality of those deep friendships and familyships, I'm the only common denominator at this point who's been with me the whole time. And there's this sense of trying to make sense of that ultimate solitude. It's not a negative or even a positive. It's just a fact.
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 don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.
Feist
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
Feist
All the girls who have photos of them at parties, like, Woo! - that's what someone's going to see of their grandma.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
Feist
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 haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
