More quotes by Vanessa Carlton
Plus, there were so many pianos in my house, so I couldn't really avoid it.
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 am always drawn to men that are funny. I do not know why. But I am always drawn to people that are struggling with parts of themselves... But it's like in the end, there has to be confidence.
Vanessa Carlton
You can derive everything that is healthy for yourself in the woods.
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 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
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
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.
Vanessa Carlton
My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.
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
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 heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man.
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
When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
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 work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.
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'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it.
Vanessa Carlton
I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.
Vanessa Carlton
When faced with the choice to Love or Decieve, therein lies the path to the Heroes and Thieves.
