More quotes by Regina Spektor
I'd always wanted to work in the studio and experiment with sounds. Things that I'm really influenced by and that I love are like The Beatles and Radiohead, and all those records by bands whose music is really involved.
Regina Spektor
This is the way I want to die. Torn apart by angry fans who want me to play a different song.
Regina Spektor
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.
Regina Spektor
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light.
Regina Spektor
Part of you just has to be in service of processing things and getting them out.
Regina Spektor
I don't kiss losers and I don't kiss winners, and I don't fight for honor 'cause we all are born sinners
Regina Spektor
The world that has made us can no longer contain us

I remember somebody handed me Siddhartha when I was I think 18, and I started to read it and I just really didn't like it, and I left it and it was just gathering dust for years. Then maybe five years later, the world shook as I read it.

I think that I'm always going to think that it's silly to value certain things that no matter how many people find it really valuable, it's always just going to seem a little silly to me.
Regina Spektor
Its not like I have all the answers.
Regina Spektor
I would really hate it if I could call up Kafka or Hemingway or Salinger and any question I could throw at them they would have an answer. That's the magic when you read or hear something wonderful - there's no one that has all the answers.
Regina Spektor
You make something, and you really have fun with it, and you try to put emotion in it, and at the end of the day, you have no idea how the tide is going to fall. You don't know if everyone's going to like it, if everyone's going to hate it, if it's going to be like you're a media darling, or all of a sudden you're a sellout. You have no idea.
Regina Spektor
God, our world is so complicated.
Regina Spektor
It's always interesting to me to see people projecting things, like people would say, This record is much more mature than your other record and I would think, Well, this record has more songs from when I was 18 on it than the other one.
Regina Spektor
Most of the time I don't even talk about any direct lineage of songs, because I feel like it just chains them down into my own consciousness, and the whole fun of them is being able to live in others' consciousness.
Regina Spektor
I think that you have to let yourself be agitated and annoyed and not be fully comfortable.
Regina Spektor
I think it's ridiculous that we even have to talk about gay rights as rights...It's gonna be as shocking as the treatment of slaves someday.
Regina Spektor
As you get older as an animal on the planet, you want to get a little more comfortable, you want to get cozier.
