More quotes by Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
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 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.
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. 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
I know more than I knew before I didn't rest I didn't stop Did we fight or did we talk.
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
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.
Feist
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
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 guess there are a lot of people out there that think they're supposed to define themselves in isolation, but that's not necessarily the case.
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.
Feist
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.
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
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
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
So, I'm on Sesame Street, walking around with all these monsters, Elmo and his buddies, a whole bunch of chickens, a whole bunch of penguins and a number four dancing about. It was just pure joy, simple, ridiculous fun, stupid joy. There's no irony. Sesame Street is just a crazy great place to be.
Feist
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.
Feist
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
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
Feist
I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
