The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Carrie Brownstein

  • 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.
  • “We can’t name it, but we can sing along.” That is my ultimate relationship to any art form, but especially music.
  • For me, being in shape means, like, not having cynicism out-weigh optimism on a daily basis.
  • 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.
  • People are wearing fleece, which is a hard fabric to be angry in.
  • 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.
  • I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.
  • You can never underestimate that moment of somebody explaining your life to you, something you thought was inexplicable, through music. That was the way out of loneliness.
  • Even if, personally, I’m in a place of contentment or solidity, I feel like it’s hard not to look out into American culture and see vast inequity, widespread institutionalized violence and racism and transphobia and environmental destruction. It’s hard to be in this world and feel a sense of innate satisfaction at all. There’s plenty of things to feel unsettled about.
  • Over the years, music put a weapon in my hand and words in my mouth it backed me up and shielded me, it shook me and scared me and showed me the way; music opened me up to living and being and feeling.
