St. Vincent (musician) quotes - page 2
In a really great way, you simultaneously try to take up as little and as much space as possible.
St. Vincent (musician)
While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints. While people are spinning like toys on Christmas day, I'm inside a still life with the other absentee.
St. Vincent (musician)
I read the signs, I got all my stars aligned, My amulets, my charms, I set all my false alarms, So I'll be someone Who won't be forgotten.
St. Vincent (musician)
The keys are in my pocket and they rattle you awake.
St. Vincent (musician)
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
St. Vincent (musician)
I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.
St. Vincent (musician)
I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible.
St. Vincent (musician)
Honey the party went away quickly, but thats the trouble with ticking and talking.
St. Vincent (musician)
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
St. Vincent (musician)
To be honest, because there's loud music in my ears probably three hours a day, between sound check and the show, I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music on the road.
St. Vincent (musician)
I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
St. Vincent (musician)
Your skin's so fair its not fair.
St. Vincent (musician)
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, 'Men are like this, women are like this.' Nobody was telling me, 'Don't get dirty, don't play in the mud, girls don't do that.'
St. Vincent (musician)
One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
St. Vincent (musician)
Oh but I'd pay anything to keep my conscience clean.I'm keeping my eyes on the the exit sign. Steady now.
St. Vincent (musician)
I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
St. Vincent (musician)
A lot of the songs have a duality about them; one part is totally sincere, and there's another part that is kind of smirking and making light of it all. Or there's a very dark streak about it.
St. Vincent (musician)
I think anyone who is creative or self-aware in any way, there's like a humility to it, or I should say a humiliation to it. But there's also a self-delusion - the provisional ego, as my uncle would call it. The self-delusion is the thing that makes you go, oh you know what, all the music that I've ever loved in the world, I want to be a part of that - hey, listen to what I have to say, it's really important, it's going to matter.” You can't apologize your way into people's hearts ... You have to go full force.
St. Vincent (musician)
The first thing I did when I picked up any instrument, when I was five years old, was write a song. It's kind of funny; I thought about it, statements that it's a "solo effort" - it's kind of like, "Oh, well I've been doing this since I was five." I was kind of doing this before I did anything else.
St. Vincent (musician)
I'm a debut artist, I'm not established - nobody would write about it if they didn't like it. So I'm waiting for the next album for the backlash.
St. Vincent (musician)
Now, now ... You don't mean that say you're sorry You don't mean that ... I'll make you sorry.
St. Vincent (musician)
While people will cheer on the spectacle we've made I'm sitting and sculpting menageries of saints.
St. Vincent (musician)
