More quotes by Vanessa Carlton
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
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
Well, I'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it.
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 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
Plus, there were so many pianos in my house, so I couldn't really avoid it.
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 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
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.
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
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
When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
Vanessa Carlton
I did not stop dancing I did take two years off to get myself together.
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 music industry is so easy compared to the ballet world.
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
The heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man.
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
