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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I’ve always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians. St. Vincent Read Quote
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don’t even know how to explain it. I can’t imagine life without it. St. Vincent Read Quote
A song has a life of its own. It’s an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it’s subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn’t feel like wallowing. St. Vincent Read Quote
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing. St. Vincent Read Quote
