More quotes by Regina Spektor
I just like being all over the place and writing whatever comes to mind. Having the tools? It's such a gift.
Regina Spektor
You decide if you're ready for something. It can come in the guise of, Oh, I don't think I like this.
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
I think that so many people don't understand how easy it is to be broke, how easy it is to find yourself in a situation where you're in an absolutely foreign place.
Regina Spektor
It doesn’t feel natural for me to write some diary type song. I want to write a classic like Yesterday but weird songs about meatballs in refrigerators come into my head – I can’t help it.
Regina Spektor
Even if you're an observer of a story that you yourself made up, you're still very much connected to it. You love it and feel it, no less than somebody's who's writing from their direct 'I' or 'me.' I'm just so much more interesting in stories than confessions.
Regina Spektor
I used to be such a militant city-ist, but more and more I've seen forests and nature and oceans, and I don't know any more if this is the awesomest way to live.
Regina Spektor
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.
Regina Spektor
I hate picking favourite books. I usually tend to stay away from all the 'top record' and 'favourite song' and 'favourite book', and I just think it doesn't do any good for anybody.
Regina Spektor
I started to write before I went to SUNY Purchase music conservatory. As an audition I submitted what I now think are really awful songs, but I guess they saw something in them.
Regina Spektor
Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk
Regina Spektor
I'm much more drawn to fiction, to short stories, and to plays, than I am to diarists.
Regina Spektor
No one's laughing at God -We're all laughing with God.
Regina Spektor
Art is arbitrary but it sort of reveals itself to be right or wrong anyway.
Regina Spektor
This is how it works You're young until you're not You love until you don't You try until you can't You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath.
Regina Spektor
I'm like, 'Would you be the person in the room that would boo when Dylan went electric? I know I wouldn't. Or are you the person that left The Beatles after 'She Loves You,' or 'Drive My Car?' You weren't on board for 'Revolution 9' or 'Day In The Life,' were you?'
Regina Spektor
Part of you just has to be in service of processing things and getting them out.
Regina Spektor
I met this wonderful guy who owned an old pub near the Eiffel Tower called Malone's (he's French but it's an Irish name). He had a cellar with a piano and told me I could use it whenever I wanted to. I played lots of gigs down there. When I came back I played a show at the Knitting Factory.
Regina Spektor
All the monsters in your mind just want to be nice. They want to be kind. They want to play nice. They want to be softer than the storms around. You feel them through the windows and the doors.
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
