Jenny Lewis Quotes

I write music, really, to make myself feel better Picture Quote #1

I come from a very uncool profession: being a washed up child actor Picture Quote #1

I used to be a huge collector, and my big thing was stickers Picture Quote #1

When you’re in a band, inevitably, someone is siding with someone else, and you’re fighting over something that happened in the band five years ago Picture Quote #1

When I was a teenager, I went to Europe on a backpacking trip by myself, and I met a woman who was following Sebadoh. It was the early 1990s, and that was my introduction to indie rock Picture Quote #1

I have a great work ethic - from watching Lucille Ball, not necessarily my own family Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt lonely, even if I’m in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family Picture Quote #1

I think Chris Martin is younger than I am, but when I met him, I felt like I was talking to my father. It’s so strange, that feeling when someone is that famous - you assume that they are either older or better Picture Quote #1

I’ve gone through terrible periods of depression. But, at the core of my being, there’s a strange, out-of-place optimist. Despite what I’m feeling, I’m always able to get up and do my job. Which means the world to me Picture Quote #1

I scored one film by myself, which was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever done Picture Quote #1

If you’re a songwriter, you have to do homework. You can exist for a while on the inspiration, but at some point, you have to sit down and have the discipline to write - to finish the poem, as they say Picture Quote #1

My favorite days off on the road are typically nowhere, like Bismarck, North Dakota, and you find yourself in a mall, and you’re like, ‘This is awesome!’ Picture Quote #1

My hair looks so good out in the desert, it’s unbelievable. It’s, like, perfectly not frizzy Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot Picture Quote #1

When something is coming off of a Neve board and being laid down on tape, it’s like a warm blanket for the brain. When you’re working in a digital form, it’s so harsh; it’s almost painful. Your ears get more fatigued if you’re mixing all day Picture Quote #1

Insomnia is a very prevalent issue. It’s a women’s health issue, and I chose to talk about it because so many people have experienced it to varying degrees. For me, I’m doing great now, but it took a lot of work to figure out how to get back to sleep. I had to change some of my habits. I developed some pretty bad sleep ritual habits Picture Quote #1

Certainly, we all wonder what is beyond, and when you lose a loved one, I think part of the grieving process includes where that person might have gone or if you’ll ever see them again. I think it forces you to look up to the sky, to the cosmos Picture Quote #1

My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn’t see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I’d see him every couple years Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t call it a faux pas, but I have about 12 tracksuits. I always travel in a tracksuit. I feel it makes people happy when they see me Picture Quote #1

I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I’m feeling. If I can’t say ‘I love you,’ I’ll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out Picture Quote #1

I have that working-class show-business blood coursing through my veins Picture Quote #1

It’s pretty amazing to write under any circumstances when someone gives you an assignment to write a song, even if it doesn’t get accepted. I’ve written songs a couple of times, some for Disney, that haven’t actually ended up in their films, but then you’re left with a song forever Picture Quote #1

I love kids, but there’s always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children Picture Quote #1

The Rilo Kiley song ‘A Better Son/Daughter’ is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It’s sort of a mid-twenties lament Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad 90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know anything about music when I started a band. I barely knew how to play a guitar. I didn’t know how to produce records. I learned how to play bass guitar and keyboards in Rilo Kiley. I picked up a lot from my collaborators Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel unlucky in love anymore, and it’s not all emo. It’s a scary place to be in when you’re like: ‘What am I supposed to write about now? I don’t feel heartbroken, so now what?’ Picture Quote #1

I demo all of my songs on Garage Band, where I pretty much play everything - not very well, but I manage to hammer out a drum beat and a bass idea Picture Quote #1

That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That’s the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That’s you on the cover. If it sucks, it’s your fault Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge reggae fan. I want to go to Jamaica and make, like, Bob Marley ‘One Love’ positive songs. That’s what the world needs Picture Quote #1
