Singing Quotes

I feel like it's me singing back to myself as a younger person and saying have confidence in being a bit different. I really felt I didn't fit in.

Suddenly I realized that I wanted everything to be as it was when I was younger. When you're young enough, you don't know that you live in a cheap lousy apartment. A cracked chair is nothing other than a chair. A dandelion growing out of a crack in the sidewalk outside your front door is a garden.

It never occurs to you when you are very young to need something other than what your parents have to offer you.

Carey Mercer
-
I don't think it's about playing and singing, to be honest. That seems like old news, you know? I wasn't thinking about that. I just think that's in my body now. Dancers don't think about their legs moving one way and their arms moving another. Over time, you incorporate that into your instrument.
