More quotes by 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.

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

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.

If you keep bashing your head against the same wall, at some point you're going to fall over and be still for awhile.

You just never set roots you take pleasure in simple conversations, because you know you're not going to have much more than that. It's very isolating, and that can be a good thing.

I've always been a bit wary of keyboards because there's an invisibility to it - you're not really hitting anything.

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
Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through.

I said I'd stop for a year, which was inconceivable to me and everyone around me. It seemed like so long. But then, after that year, I looked up and I still hadn't gotten my land legs back at all.
Feist
I had a guitar leaning against the wall and I'd squint at it. It was almost like a dog that had been kicked - I didn't think I had anything to offer it.

I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.

All the girls who have photos of them at parties, like, Woo! - that's what someone's going to see of their grandma.

It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.
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 I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.
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.
Feist
I don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.

There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.

I was in a crazy, private, awesome bubble again, and that's when I started to write.
