More quotes by St. Vincent
One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
St. Vincent
In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
St. Vincent
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
St. Vincent
I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible.
St. Vincent
Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.
St. Vincent
I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it's all chaos. I call it 'the dark fear.' At any moment, the dark fear could come in.
St. Vincent
Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
St. Vincent
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power they sayI'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is.Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear
St. Vincent
No matter what others say or do, even if the wicked succeed, do not be troubled: commit everything to God and put your trust in him.
St. Vincent
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
St. Vincent
I grew up around a lot of various religions, so it's a part of my consciousness in a way. Everything from heavy Catholicism to followers of Indian spiritual masters to Unitarian universalists - all in one family. Though the family aspect was stronger than any particular dogma.
St. Vincent
The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town - hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too.
St. Vincent
It's not enough to do good. It must be done well.
St. Vincent
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, 'Men are like this, women are like this.' Nobody was telling me, 'Don't get dirty, don't play in the mud, girls don't do that.'
St. Vincent
I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.
St. Vincent
It is absolutely necessary, both for our advancement and the salvation of others, to follow always and in all things the beautiful light of faith
St. Vincent
Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
St. Vincent
I've been watching a lot of Joan Didion interviews on YouTube. I love her. My drummer has gotten me into looking at Terence McKenna interviews.
St. Vincent
Let us love God my brothers, let us love God. But let it be with the strength of our arms and the sweat of our brow.
St. Vincent
I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
St. Vincent
