I never intended to set out and be a singer-songwriter. I just sort of became one because I put out my own record.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I think the idea of opening up for a massive band is always better than actually doing it, and having your name on the ticket means more than the actual set.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
You never know how things are going to turn out in a movie. You can imagine a scene one way, and it can turn out to be completely the polar opposite of what you expected. You just have to roll with the punches.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I'm not always as disciplined as I should be. I don't sit down and write every day, but I should.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I scored one film by myself, which was the hardest thing I think I've ever done.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
Some shows suck, but I always - the show must go on. I learned it from my past as a child actor. The show must go on. You have to just keep on with it.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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!'
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
When I'm not working is when I tend to freak out a bit. It's hard for me to just stay home.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I felt like hip-hop was my music, it was like my outsider music... but then my mom started answering our phone, 'Yo, what's up.' She was hearing me talk to my friends. I was like, 'No, mom, don't cop the hip-hop talk.'
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I find most modern country virtually unlistenable. I can't relate to the music or the lyrics.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a through line.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
Sometimes people come to my shows and think I'm a Christian artist, and they put their hands up in the air, like they do. But first of all, I'm a Jewish girl from the Valley, and I'm from Los Angeles. It's funny to be misinterpreted.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I'm always pretty nervous when I do anything! I walk very slowly. I'm very careful.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
Being in a band is a really magical thing because you've got a family and you operate as this one entity. It's very democratic; everyone is involved in the output. But within that, there can be a lot of disagreements and strife.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
My hair looks so good out in the desert, it's unbelievable. It's, like, perfectly not frizzy.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
When you make a solo record, it's you. It's your name. It has to be the right songs for how you feel.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
It really helps me to get into the character of the record when I have a designated look. It just really simplifies things for me.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I felt like onstage I have to have a certain amount of anonymity, like, personal anonymity, to feel loose and free. When you're up there with people who've known you for a decade, and you make a bad joke and you hear the cackling behind the drums, it's hard to get lost in the moment.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
My mother had a great vinyl collection, and she was constantly playing female singer-songwriters. I first learned about classic song structures by listening to them, and Laura Nyro particularly stood out. Her voice was outside what you'd usually hear on the radio; that really appealed to me.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
It sounds cheesy, but music has saved me in a lot of ways. If I had just continued acting, I don't think I would be alive.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
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.
Quote by -Jenny Lewis
I have a great work ethic - from watching Lucille Ball, not necessarily my own family.
