Spirituality is complicated. I do not belong to any particular religious group, but I have profound respect for people who devote their lives to faith.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Set lists are like movies. They need a great beginning, a dynamic shift in the middle, and bang at the end.
Quote by -Grace Potter
We are definitely a team, from each band member to our management/booking agent. I like to be as involved as possible with business decisions, but at a certain point, it's important to me to step aside and let the professionals do their thing.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I always loved the piano because it's just a bunch of buttons. I like to push buttons.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I see musicians like Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris as more than just musical icons: they are planets, with a gravitational pull - from how they flip their hair just-so when they bow, right down to their hearty backstage banter. It takes decades to learn the innuendos of being gracious and genuine all at once.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I've been singing since I could talk. I started playing the piano when I was about 5 or 6. I picked up the guitar on my 20th birthday.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I'm quite a nurturing person, and I'm more a mom than a crazy, partying rock star.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Honestly, I don't think I ever really was a sweet country girl. I think that was a misconception about me. I was always bad.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Any time you write a song, you kind of know what you want from it. You know what you're getting from it.
Quote by -Grace Potter
With my childhood and growing up in a very free place where my parents were artists and always encouraging me to explore, you wouldn't think I was locked up in my own mind, but I was.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I was always sort of mystified and excited about the world of country music. Something about it struck me as enchanted.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I really love what Chuck Berry did with Christmas music, and also the Rat Pack Christmas stuff, which I listened to all through my childhood.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I admire pop stars, and there's parts of that world I'm glad I don't have to go through. It takes a lot of work to do the things they do.
Quote by -Grace Potter
What I was drawn to the most about the Flying V was the weight distribution with the way I move on stage. The V just swings perfectly. It's a great way to stay balanced, because I like to dance, and I'm a bit of a flail-er. The guitar centers me, and for me, it's a really good balance.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I've gone from wearing jeans and cowboy boots to wearing miniskirts and gold tassels and high heels. I'm sure I'm not going to dress that way forever. It's going to change again and again.
Quote by -Grace Potter
For all the flack that we get for becoming successful, you get people who really respect how firmly planted our feet have been in Vermont.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I've seen Coldplay live a couple of times, and you feel like you just got rained over with glorious, glowing love. That's a good feeling to leave people with.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I'm from Vermont, where to be stylish and cool is to have a dirty pair of hiking boots and know how to change a tire, hang drywall, and bale hay. Those people are my home, and every time I come home, it reminds me that there's something to be said for being in the spotlight, but it can never be a whole part of me.
Quote by -Grace Potter
You have to be a part of the conversation if you want to change the conversation.
Quote by -Grace Potter
As a ski bum and someone who came up in a ski bum family, I understand the essence of what Colorado is all about.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Every single song I write has to feel like it has a beginning, middle, and end, like a movie or a short story.
Quote by -Grace Potter
When you give your life over to your touring schedule, it's so grueling, you have to have moments where you have your own comfort places.
Quote by -Grace Potter
When I was a kid, I listened to the Doors and the Eagles and bands like the Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, and Blondie.
Quote by -Grace Potter
There are a lot of bands coming up now that are literally thrusting their soul, their passion into something that fans can pay for a ticket to go see, and they know it's going to be awe-inspiring.
Quote by -Grace Potter
The limitations and parameters of a band is something I've always enjoyed: so many creative people coming together and raising the music to places we'd never get on our own.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I've gotta long list of things to do, bucket list things - play 'Saturday Night Live,' make a movie. I want a lot of things, but one of my deepest wishes would be to headline - and sell out - Red Rocks.
Quote by -Grace Potter
There's nothing less sexy than a girl falling over on stage. I have fallen once, but it had nothing to do with my shoes. I'm legally blind, so I fell over a monitor because the stage was black, and I had no depth perception. Mortifying.
Quote by -Grace Potter
In a lot of ways, the Nocturnals are a safety net and a beautiful, beautiful blanket. All the life and music we've woven makes it so much more than a name on a marquee. But I realized the Nocturnals aren't me but a part of me... so it's natural to want to grow.
Quote by -Grace Potter
I'm very much a word-centric writer, and that comes from the literature and the reading that I did as kid and also the films and mythology and stories.
Quote by -Grace Potter
There's definitely no subtlety in what I do. When you want to get your face melted, you come to a Grace Potter and the Nocturnals concert.
Quote by -Grace Potter
When I'm onstage, I have to have primer. Actually, the more primer, the less makeup I have to put on.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Robert Plant, Kenny Chesney, Mavis Staples, Taj Mahal, this incredible array of folks, all taught me a way to carry yourself with dignity.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Trends suck you in, anywhere in the world, patterns you don't even see. It's so easy. Look at Wall Street - look at any sports team in the world - there are trends. Look at exercising. Nothing but patterns and trends, and that's what I started to see. Like a flock of birds all flying in one direction.
Quote by -Grace Potter
When I grew up and went to school, all the cool kids were in Carhartts and Mudd boots, and they were listening to the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers and driving Volkswagens.
Quote by -Grace Potter
When we were recording 'This is Somewhere,' we were still super green, super from Vermont, super not knowing what to do.
Quote by -Grace Potter
Mick Jagger knows how to run a show. It's all about pacing. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. His output is amazing, but his movements are subtle. As I get older, I'll have to adhere to these rules.
Quote by -Grace Potter
My parents raised me on Spooky Tooth and The Band, Derek and the Dominoes, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, all that stuff. Rock n' roll was just in my subconscious.
Quote by -Grace Potter
My dad turned me onto Led Zeppelin, the Stones, and the Who, but Madonna and pop music came from my mom.
