More quotes by Natalie Merchant
It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.
Natalie Merchant
I don't enjoy the work that I do. It's just that it's not self-sustaining anymore. The way that I like to make records - they're expensive records to make and just can't afford to do it anymore.
Natalie Merchant
When it came time to sequence the album, the new arrangements really demanded a different order. They were so different than they were before that the old sequence didn't work anymore.
Natalie Merchant
I've found out how overwhelming the media is and the way it drills things into your head, it's almost like a mind control. If I could control prople's minds, I'd like to put something useful in.
Natalie Merchant

Natalie Merchant

Natalie Merchant
I've had a large gay following for many years and have been quite aware of that.
Natalie Merchant
I don't have a lot of thrilling anecdotes about my career or personal life. All the stuff that is interesting is private and I wouldn't want people to know.
Natalie Merchant
I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.
Natalie Merchant
