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.

More quotes by Regina Spektor
Its not like I have all the answers.
Regina Spektor
God, our world is so complicated.
Regina Spektor
The other day I was down by the Hudson River, and I see two nuns in full habit rollerblading down the street holding hands. And I'm like, 'Oh, my God, I get it. The world is surreal and beautiful. And everything is fine.'
Regina Spektor
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.
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
I am very close with my parents, they are very amazing, so loving, so cool, and really valued art.
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
I was a kid, and I was very excited to experience this whole new world. And everything was fun, everything from, oh, wow, we get bananas - I'd only seen them in picture books, you know - to, like, the diversity of the neighborhood and to explore Judaism for the first time. It was really hushed in the Soviet Union.
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
I'm both kinds of a person I have a side of me that's very light and very optimistic and finds everything surreal and hilarious, and then I have a side of me that's - I don't know what the right word is - tormented or just feels very overwhelmed.
Regina Spektor
Never, never mind your bleeding heart.
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 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 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
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light.
Regina Spektor
I'm much more drawn to fiction, to short stories, and to plays, than I am to diarists.
Regina Spektor
It's painful to watch your parents not be in control of things.
Regina Spektor
We're living in a den of thieves
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
And people are just people, They shouldn't make you nervous. The world is everlasting, It's coming and it's going.
Regina Spektor
