Carrie Brownstein Quotes

I think you should be prepared for a green-screen CGI at all times Picture Quote #1

It turns out I’m not very good at working with a traditional boss Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to mislead people Picture Quote #1

I love coffee. I love a midday espresso on set, just for the energy Picture Quote #1

Nothing is as nice as plugging in your guitar and turning up the volume really loud, just seeing what kind of beautiful noise you can make with it Picture Quote #1

There was a clarity to the Nineties. It was pre-9/11, before that anxiety kicked in that exists right now about the financial crisis or terrorism. We were all just going to move forward into the millennium and everything was always going to get better. Then, whoops, that didn’t happen Picture Quote #1

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary

And then you meet one person and your life changes forever

It was writing about music for NPR - connecting with music fans and experiencing a sense of community - that made me want to write songs again. I began to feel I was in my head too much about music, too analytical Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty horrible at relationships and haven’t been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know; that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay Picture Quote #1

I read a lot; fiction and non-fiction are the mediums I find most edifying and inspiring. I watch movies and listen to music and take lots and lots of walks. Nature is a nice reset button for me, it’s how I get a lot of thinking done Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I would live outside of the Northwest. I think the quality of life in Portland is really good. People move from intense, high-powered jobs, and move to Portland, work half as much and live twice as good Picture Quote #1

Chemistry cannot be manufactured or forced, so Wild Flag was not a sure thing, it was a ‘maybe,’ a ‘possibility.’ But after a handful of practice sessions, spread out over a period of months, I think we all realized that we could be greater than the sum of our parts Picture Quote #1

The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you’re still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don’t feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms; it’s a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels Picture Quote #1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

Don't look back you're not going that way

I think it’s very disheartening and undermining to focus on nostalgia or youthful sentimentality as the lens through which you view art and culture, because then you feel like everything good already happened. I really just try to be in the present with music and just find the things that are invigorating and make me feel happy to be alive right now Picture Quote #1

Once you’re away from music, I realize that’s as intrinsic to who I am as anything else. That’s the part that takes me out of my brain Picture Quote #1

I’ve realized that I have a lot of different loves, and I want to pursue writing, but I can never divorce myself from music Picture Quote #1

I’m always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever Picture Quote #1

I like how blogging emulates fandom because it’s so completist and spontaneous. It really mirrors the way people listen to music, and I like that fluidity with online content Picture Quote #1

With Rock Band, you can play along to Black Sabbath or Nirvana and possibly find new ways of appreciating their artistry by being allowed to perform parallel to it. Rock Band puts you inside the guts of a song Picture Quote #1

A true friend is someone who accepts your past, supports your present and encourages your future

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Practice. Learn and then unlearn - that’s the trick in finding your own style of playing. You can’t merely emulate, you have to innovate, or at the very least create your own path into the process Picture Quote #1

I always felt that the most common thread in my life from when I was young until now has been a highly observant, very analytical mind Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous Picture Quote #1

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres Picture Quote #1

I always felt that the most common thread in my life from when I was young until now has been a highly observant, very analytical mind Picture Quote #1

For me, being in shape means, like, not having cynicism out-weigh optimism on a daily basis Picture Quote #1

I like me a little bit more when i'm with you

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is

To me, curiosity is married to optimism. And that’s where a lot of my motivation comes from. A lot of my way out of depression and anxiety is that intersection between optimism and curiosity. Because it means taking a step forward with the hope that there will be discovery Picture Quote #1

As a kid, before I got into music, I did all the drama classes, went to theater camp in the summers, so it wasn’t totally a foreign world Picture Quote #1

I think that half of us feel fraudulent in our lives anyway. There’s that strange disconnect of not really knowing what we’re doing sometimes, or why it matters. It’s our existential crisis Picture Quote #1

For film and television, it’s interesting how fans feel that their particular ways of manifesting their affections are the correct ones. It’s not just about being a fan, it’s about how you perform your fandom. That’s always been interesting to me Picture Quote #1

I have to erase my Google search histories, because they always lead to an obituary Picture Quote #1

I have no problem spending money on a great meal with friends or a flight to see somebody that I love, versus something like a fancy car. I don’t need a fancy car. I don’t need a giant TV Picture Quote #1
