Feist: If you believe the good press, you have to believe the bad press, and I’d rather not take any of that into consideration when I write and think about recording the next record.
Feist: (about approaching music): I guess I would say the way a body has bones, a song has a melody. And I'm most interested in the bones. I like to dress up the melodies, that's the recording. And then slow dance with them. That's the gig.
Feist: I spent so much time touring other people's music, which I loved, but if you're going to be exhausted and broke, you might as well be that way with your own seed in the ground that you're watering.
Feist: Recording is almost like going to see a movie -- you go into this dark place with its own air, and you could be in Greece, or Texas, and it doesn't matter.
