More quotes by 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 have this obsession with the '80s because I missed all of it.
Regina Spektor
The piano is not firewood -- yet.
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
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
I think that you have to let yourself be agitated and annoyed and not be fully comfortable.
Regina Spektor
I'm much more drawn to fiction, to short stories, and to plays, than I am to diarists.
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
