More quotes by Vanessa Carlton

Vanessa Carlton
Well, I'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it.
Vanessa Carlton
I went horseback riding and got a big chunk of horse manure kicked into my face. It has a way of slapping you right back into reality.

I was very lucky to be offered a lovely piece of property to build a career on. I started building a house on it, but it wasn't necessarily a house I would want to live in. So I ripped down that house, and I worked with these great lumberjacks to build a really cool cabin-a place I want to drink whiskey in and hang out until the sun rises.
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
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 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 now - look, I have to take care of myself. I work out every day. I'm a dancer. I've always been an athlete, and I'm one of those people who start to go crazy if they don't run or do something.
Vanessa Carlton
I did not stop dancing I did take two years off to get myself together.
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
But my mom was a pianist, and she taught piano out of her house. I was just so excited, being a little kid and having all these other kids come to my house twice a week. I thought it was a big party.
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
You can derive everything that is healthy for yourself in the woods.
Vanessa Carlton
My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.
Vanessa Carlton
I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.
