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
Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.
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
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 don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.
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
I think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.
Feist
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.

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
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
The group-effort sound in recording of Sea Lion is like, you really hear all the people in the room and hear them interlocking. Theres a real freight-train energy of all these people at the same time playing.
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
You realize time isn't just a period that you tell a story within - it becomes a major character in the film. There is no beginning, middle, end because there is always stuff beginning and ending simultaneously.
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 was in a crazy, private, awesome bubble again, and that's when I started to write.
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
I've always been a bit wary of keyboards because there's an invisibility to it - you're not really hitting anything.
Feist
A year's a long time, but it also flickers past in no time at all.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
Feist
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
