The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town - hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too. St. Vincent aboardbacklashbummer Change image and share on social
I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own. St. Vincent entwinehavemultitracking Change image and share on social
I'm supportive of women, absolutely, and it's so gratifying to have girls come up and say, 'I'm really inspired by your guitar playing.' I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear. St. Vincent absolutelybeardirty share on social
I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible. St. Vincent familyknowlive Change image and share on social
Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night. St. Vincent busydaygenerally Change image and share on social
I started playing guitar when I was 12 and probably from that age knew that I wanted to make music and make my own music. Playing with other bands like the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens was more like an apprenticeship for me than anything. St. Vincent ageapprenticeshipband share on social
And if I'm honest about it, I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is like '92, right in the throes of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I think I probably wanted to be Kurt Cobain. St. Vincent cobainhonestjam Change image and share on social
Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way. St. Vincent completelycomputercreative share on social

I've been watching a lot of Joan Didion interviews on YouTube. I love her. My drummer has gotten me into looking at Terence McKenna interviews. St. Vincent didiondrummerhave Change image and share on social
