More quotes by Regina Spektor
It feels very good to sing in Russian. It feels so good inside my body.
Regina Spektor
There's an artist that I listened to for the first time, and I really didn't like them. I had some kind of adverse reaction, and later, it became my favorite thing.
Regina Spektor
Part of you just has to be in service of processing things and getting them out.
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
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 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
No one's laughing at God -We're all laughing with God.

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
Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk
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
Maybe I am skipping over the city and going from very personal things to the world, from internal experience to giant, far-away-from-space experience.
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
Never, never mind your bleeding heart.
Regina Spektor
Its not like I have all the answers.
Regina Spektor
It's painful to watch your parents not be in control of things.
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'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
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
Regina Spektor
We're living in a den of thieves
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
