More quotes by Regina Spektor
I think that you have to let yourself be agitated and annoyed and not be fully comfortable.
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
Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk
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
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
Regina Spektor
Never, never mind your bleeding heart.
Regina Spektor
A man destined to hang can never drown

I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.
Regina Spektor
This is how it works You peer inside yourself You take the things you like And try to love the things you took And then you take that love you made And stick it into some Someone else's heart Pumping someone else's blood.
Regina Spektor
There's something about trying to know when you really need to protect yourself, or else you're not going to get anything done, and sometimes to be really uncomfortable or agitated or annoyed or bored. Boredom is so important.
Regina Spektor
Yeah. My singing and my songs were very influenced by all of that. People would come up to me and ask, Is that a Billie Holiday song? I'd say, No, it's my song. The lyrics would be in my style, but the songs would be very jazzy.
Regina Spektor
The piano is not firewood -- yet.
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
Its not like I have all the answers.
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
I've been thinking a lot about space. It was one of those slow-motion realisations how little we are, how far we are from everything else in our solar system. This idea of distance started kind of haunting me. How do you go forth and accomplish things but not end up leaving everything you started out with in the dust?
Regina Spektor
You ask a person what their personal favorite song on the album is, and it's literally the one with the least amount of listens if you looked at the statistics of it.
Regina Spektor
No one's laughing at God -We're all laughing with God.
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
And people are just people, They shouldn't make you nervous. The world is everlasting, It's coming and it's going.
