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
Its not like I have all the answers.
Regina Spektor
We're living in a den of thieves
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
God, our world is so complicated.
Regina Spektor
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.
Regina Spektor
You decide if you're ready for something. It can come in the guise of, Oh, I don't think I like this.
Regina Spektor
Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk
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
I hate picking favourite books. I usually tend to stay away from all the 'top record' and 'favourite song' and 'favourite book', and I just think it doesn't do any good for anybody.
Regina Spektor
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
