More quotes by 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
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 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
Well, I'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it.
Vanessa Carlton
When faced with the choice to Love or Decieve, therein lies the path to the Heroes and Thieves.
Vanessa Carlton
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
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
My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.
Vanessa Carlton
I have gone from being a 21-year-old with wide eyes to a 24-year-old woman. With success comes a lot of responsibility and power.
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
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
I did not stop dancing I did take two years off to get myself together.
Vanessa Carlton
I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.
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
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 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
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
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
You can derive everything that is healthy for yourself in the woods.
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
