More quotes by Mary Chapin Carpenter
God forgives somehow we have yet to learn the same.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I think topical songwriting is a real gift, and it's hard not to be pedantic and show up with the sledgehammer message.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Life is never a straight line - it's peaks and valleys. Why would you want to be the same person every day of your life?
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I take my chances. I can't cling to remorse or regret.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
You've gotta know happy. You've gotta know sad. 'Cause you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
As far as politically how country music goes, it's true that it's regarded from a distance as a genre of music that at different times, the more right elements of the political spectrum have claimed for their own.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
We all have two lives. The one we are given and the one we create.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and what it's about The road seems to know when to straighten right out... I could wonder if all of it led me to you I could show you the arrows and circles I drew I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do On the fly and on the run
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I feel like they're different creatures, live and in the studio, but that's what makes it so interesting to me. If they didn't have any different shadings or colors, you might as well be a hologram or something.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
20-some years ago, I'd have a big old radio with a tape deck, and I'd hit record and try to get something down on the tape, but nowadays, I can use my handy little smart-phone I sing into the app for voice memo.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
It's a pretty frantic world that we live in
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I certainly felt the desire to reach as many people as I could I wanted to make the most of this opportunity, sure. But I wouldn't call it pressure the way we're thinking of it now.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Everything changes in every genre, whether it's pop, rock or country.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today
Mary Chapin Carpenter
The bedrock thing of country music is, it's about storytelling. I feel like I was able to find a niche because I connected to that in some way.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
A dreamer born is a hero bred.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
You know, that single girl life and that sense of isolation - that doesn't leave you just like that. And that's what that song is about. I remember that, and that is imprinted on me, that sense.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
I don't think you need to dumb down to a child, you merely have to be clear, you know?
Mary Chapin Carpenter
So I think that if I do feel more freedom right now in my career, it's not so much because I have less at stake but more a sense that I've learned more.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
