Quote

My dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.

I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.

I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.

Image
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.

Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.

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.

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.

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.

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

I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
St. Vincent
Image
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
Image
It's not enough to do good. It must be done well.
St. Vincent
Image
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
Image
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.

Go to the poor there you will find God.

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
Image
I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.

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.

Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
St. Vincent
Image
We ought to deal kindly with all, and to manifest those qualities which spring naturally from a heart tender and full of Christian charity such as affability, love and humility. These virtues serve wonderfully to gain the hearts of men, and to encourage them to embrace things that are more repugnant to nature.
