More quotes by Vanessa Carlton
Toting around a full orchestra on tour is very ambitious. I would consider doing a show now and then, like do a show at Radio City or Carnegie Hall with a full orchestra.
Vanessa Carlton
Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, and I'm home bound. Staring blankly ahead, just making my way, making a way, through the crowd. And I need you, and I miss you, and now I wonder... If I could fall, into the sky. do you think time, would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, if I could, just see you tonight.
Vanessa Carlton
Well, I would say that music just happens with me, I'm not in the driver's seat when I am at the piano, the piano is.
Vanessa Carlton
The music industry is so easy compared to the ballet world.
Vanessa Carlton
The women who don't feel that people think they're sexy are the ones who seem to titillate in that way, because they don't feel like they're getting that kind of approval.
Vanessa Carlton
I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together. I still have my hands and I can still write songs. I still have my body and I can still dance. I owe God so much because things are going so well.
Vanessa Carlton
But when you hear the complete album, it gets dark, really straight-up rock, with some really intimate moments with just me and the piano. It's not completely me because there are parts of me that aren't on that song, that are on the album.
Vanessa Carlton
I tour with a piano, actually. Luckily I am able to hire people that deal with it completely and magically a piano appears on stage and then magically disappears when I leave.
Vanessa Carlton
My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.
Vanessa Carlton
I am not this big celebrity, but it gets really crazy. You have to go through the nuts of blowing up, in a sense, and then figuring out how to live your life with that.
Vanessa Carlton
I don't use sex to sell records, obviously, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't feel like I have to make an effort to look good when I go out onstage, to wear something pretty.
Vanessa Carlton
I had no album title, and the album is like a journey in that it's a complete body of work. It's not just a couple of catchy songs and filler, so I felt that I needed to capture the essence of the album.
Vanessa Carlton
The heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man.
Vanessa Carlton
Food can become such a point of anxiety - not because it's food, but just because you have anxiety. That's how eating disorders develop.
Vanessa Carlton
When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
Vanessa Carlton
I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.
Vanessa Carlton
I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.
Vanessa Carlton
My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.
Vanessa Carlton
Now, performing is second nature and I love every second of it. It is a very emotional thing when I can't play a song maybe I'm hitting on something that I don't want to deal with. All of it is so personal. It is like therapy.
Vanessa Carlton
And it's sad because it's like a surprise to people - almost an anomaly - when artists are actually refined and trained on an instrument. That's the last thing people think about.
Vanessa Carlton
