St. Vincent's Profile
Brief about St. Vincent: By info that we know St. Vincent was born at 1982-09-28. And also St. Vincent is American Musician.
Some St. Vincent's quotes. Goto "St. Vincent's quotation" section for more.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.
Tags: Age, Guitar, MusicI 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.
Tags: Living, Parents, PossibleI 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.'
Tags: Human, Men, WomenI wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs.
Tags: Touch, Until, WhileI'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.
Tags: Guitar, Mean, WomenIn regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
Tags: Beautiful, Design, LoveMy dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.
Tags: Car, Dad, LoveOne of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
Tags: Afraid, Country, MusicThe 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.
Tags: Fair, Guess, PrettyTo be honest, because there's loud music in my ears probably three hours a day, between sound check and the show, I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music on the road.
Tags: Between, Honest, MusicWell, 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.
Tags: Creative, Music, SinceI'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.
Tags: Her, Looking, LoveAll you can do is make something that you like and feel proud of and then just hope for the best and try to get out of its way.
Tags: Best, Hope, TryFashion, for me, is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.
Tags: Art, Beautiful, FoodGenerally 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.
Tags: Best, Busy, NightGuitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.
Tags: Guitar, Instinct, MemoryI grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island, eight hours in the car down to the beach.
