Patty Griffin Quotes

But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Picture Quote #1

I grew up Catholic, so I have these defenses about listening to anything with too much religiosity; some of the lyrics didn’t sit well in my mouth. One of my beefs is the patriarchal setup. Having the ‘he, he, he, God, God, God, king, king, king’ stuff was hard for me Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to AM radio in the 70s and hearing all of that great soul and rhythm and blues music, which definitely influenced the way I sing. But singing gospel has made me a much more humble person. There are so many people who were geniuses who only a few people knew about when they were alive Picture Quote #1

It’s occurred to me I need to laugh at myself more, and that I don’t need to be some sad folk singer all the time. I don’t want to be the queen of pain Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed more people coming to shows and I’ve had a feeling that they were from a part of the culture I haven’t been able to get to before, younger people. I think on iTunes they’ve been experimenting with my songs and the digital radio world has been very kind to me Picture Quote #1

Along the way, I’ve had different advice from different music producers. I’ve been told to tone it down, that the quiet parts of my voice are appealing and there’s harshness to the loud part of my voice Picture Quote #1

Studios are designed to pull out all of that beautiful ambience you get from singing in a room, and then the engineer puts it back in digitally or through whatever machinery you’ve got Picture Quote #1

I’m going to be doing solo stuff. The idea is to do ‘small’ and ‘off my beaten path,’ or go back to an old, beaten path - do some smaller things that I haven’t done in 15 or 20 years. Just to sort of get my feet wet, because I haven’t done my own material for a couple of years - I’ve been doing a lot of other things Picture Quote #1

I was asked to sing with Mavis Staples on a gospel compilation called ‘Oh Happy Day.’ And, you know, other than being totally intimidated at the prospect of singing with Mavis, I was honored. I don’t really have much of a background in gospel music Picture Quote #1

I grew up as a Catholic, and there was so much that was beautiful there, and also so much that was troubling. The whole patriarchal thing, the whole male-dominated approach, really bothered me Picture Quote #1

Fame is a can of worms I haven’t really had to contend with Picture Quote #1

Everyone is tortured. Do you know anyone who isn’t? Picture Quote #1

I think listeners are hungry to hear quality Picture Quote #1

You must always know how long to stay; and when to go Picture Quote #1

Most everything means nothing, except some things that mean everything Picture Quote #1

Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song Picture Quote #1

I’m confused that there is a lack of faith in listening to and deciding what is a great song and instead going for these formulaic, bad songs over and over again. But that’s what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels Picture Quote #1
