Famous quotes by Kristin Hersh:

"I don't know what any of my songs are about, ... I don't know what I'm saying half the time, until I see it written down. It has to feel right coming out of my mouth. I can't be lying. If it sounds beautiful, that's what I need to hear."

"I like being in the underground and being able to do what I do."

"I have pockets of appreciation,"

"Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say."

"Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument."

"To do it nationally or internationally, you have to follow a few more rules."

"Popular music sucks so bad right now."

"My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind."

"I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly."

"I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference."

"That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them."

"I'm beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it."

"I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record."

"I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die."

"Most of the younger people I knew didn't seem to have a handle on things; they hadn't found their place, they didn't understand how the world works, they didn't understand how to treat other people, and they didn't know how to stop thinking about themselves."

"My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant."

"I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be."

"I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence."

"We didn't really swallow much of the Jesus thing, but we got the vocab."

"We need a day of the dead. That's a perfect celebration."
