Brittany Howard Quotes

Freddie Mercury inspired me when I was young Picture Quote #1

An important part of being in a band is the rhythm section Picture Quote #1

Where I’m from, we don’t do the kiss-on-the-cheek thing. Sometimes we can feel a bit awkward in England. Someone needs to let me know what the rules are because I don’t want to be rude. I need a little more etiquette coaching Picture Quote #1

The first time I learned how to play, my guitar was out of tune. I didn’t know it; I just started writing songs Picture Quote #1

We had a music teacher in sixth grade, and I saw her tune her guitar. I said, ‘Whoa. There’s a certain way to do this.’ I bought a packet of strings - some of mine were broken - and had her tune it for me. For a while, I just kept it like that. But I got the Internet finally, when I was 14, and started learning Picture Quote #1

I have a terrible lifestyle. And I don’t really see it changing. Maybe in 10 years I’ll see it differently - I’ll want to see my great-grandchildren and live forever. But right now, young Brittany is not setting things up for old Brittany. And young Brittany does not care Picture Quote #1

By the time I’m 35, I’ll probably want to have a family. I’d be happy doing that, teaching my kids to do the right things, to do good things Picture Quote #1

Oh, man, I love the Staple Singers. I love Pop Staples’ guitar playing, too. He’s one of my favorite guitar players Picture Quote #1

For my band’s debut tour in 2011, we road-tripped across the country in a 15-passenger van. It was the first time I’d left Alabama. I drove through scenery I’d only ever seen in calendars: auburn leaves falling in Vermont, the sun setting over purple mountains in Arizona. It was incredible Picture Quote #1

People hear a powerful female singer in a rock and roll band, and they say, ‘Janis Joplin.’ I think people just make that comparison because it’s easy. But I don’t think I sound like her at all Picture Quote #1

I drink a ton of water a day and try to get as much sleep as possible. Sleep is the best way to restore your health. Never skip on sleep; it’s crazy important Picture Quote #1

To me, if you’re a musician, then you’re interested in music, and if you’re interested in music, then you should listen to a lot of different types Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some terrible jobs, but working in a kitchen at Cracker Barrel is probably the worst I’ve ever had. I was a grill cook - awful! It wasn’t the smell, it was the people. The music, too. We had to be ‘country fresh,’ so they played this terrible country music eight hours during the shift. It was a bleak existence - a very dark time Picture Quote #1

I always felt out of place. I wasn’t a cool kid, but I wasn’t a nerd, either. I had trouble finding my place. But when I found the music, I had a place of my own Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite things about Tom Waits is not only his songs, but when he does do live shows, it’s the theatrics involved. It’s like Kabuki theater, really old-fashioned theatrics. Like, standing on top of a piece of plywood lying on some cinderblocks and clapping his hands, banging on a bucket Picture Quote #1

My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks Picture Quote #1

For whatever reason, whenever I’m having a get-together, I’ll turn on my projector and play YouTube videos of ‘Russian driving fails.’ Russians all have dashboard cameras in their cars, so there are all these videos of crazy wrecks and people almost getting hit in the street. It’s a conversation starter, for sure Picture Quote #1

I probably bring four dresses on the road and rotate those. I always wear something light when I go onstage because I move around a whole lot. It’s a sweaty business Picture Quote #1

When stuff gets hard, and you’re feeling real down about everything or in a cark space, a song can bring you out of it Picture Quote #1

The biggest lie in the world is in answer to the question, ‘How are you?’ People usually say, ‘I’m fine,’ but that’s mostly bull. Everyone wants to display being perfect. They tell themselves and their friends, ‘I drive this car, I own this house, I’m fine.’ People ball up into these tight wads of repression Picture Quote #1

I’m not that flashy in private; I’m usually pretty reserved. But on stage, it’s about not being afraid of anything - of anyone judging you. It’s one place you can be free. So why not sing as loud as you can, hoop and holler and jump around? A show is a moment. When it’s done, it’s over. I find that extremely liberating Picture Quote #1

When I picture England, I picture little gardens and beautiful yards. I don’t really like cities; I like to go and see things like that Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what you’re playing. You can be playing EDM music. Well, guess what? That came out in the early 80s. There’s no way to be original. All you can do is put yourself into it and do the best you can Picture Quote #1

I’m homesick all the time. I miss my animals. I miss my family. I miss my friends Picture Quote #1

I’m just really impressed by oil paintings - I don’t see how people do it! That’s the style I like: classic oil paintings. Abstract art just isn’t my thing Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is like talking to yourself when there is no one to talk to Picture Quote #1

When stuff gets hard, and you’re feeling real down about everything or in a cark space, a song can bring you out of it Picture Quote #1

I was a strange kid. I’m still strange. People didn’t get me. And I didn’t expect them to Picture Quote #1
