Quote

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.

It's not enough to do good. It must be done well.
St. Vincent
Image
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
St. Vincent
Image
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
St. Vincent
Image
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.

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.

Fervor is a fire that makes things boil and grow hot, just as fire causes water to boil. It is, properly speaking, charity on fire, and that is what you should have because a Daughter without Charity is like a body without a soul.

Image
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.

Image
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.
St. Vincent
Image
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
St. Vincent
Image
I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.
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
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

Go to the poor there you will find God.

Image
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.
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.

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.

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

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.
