It's painful to watch your parents not be in control of things.
Regina Spektor
It's a privilege to work with an artist that you really care for.

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
I also don't like to make really big records, because I feel then that the songs don't get enough space to be themselves, so I would never want to make a record that's like seventeen songs.
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
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
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.
