Corin Tucker Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Corin Tucker:

I'm pretty straightforward as a performer, but I do have a bit of a diva in me.

I think the B-52's were a huge influence on Sleater-Kinney. The way that there'd be a really interesting guitar line that'd be really melodic and kind of simplistic, I really related to that. The sense of melody is really intense and fun. It's not just traditional song structures, but it's very melodic and draws you in, in kind of an immediate way.

I think there's a huge lack of political artists in America, and I think it really speaks to our consumeristic culture and how people are driven to be financially successful here. It's such a shame that we don't have people who are more inspired than that.

There are so many times that, as a woman in the music industry, you're asked questions no male musician would ever be asked.

Twenty years later, twenty years after I joined the women's movement, we're still talking about the same issues. We're still talking about reproductive rights for women, and we're still talking about getting equal pay for women. And that's just frustrating.

Kill Rock Stars has a willingness to really work with the artist and to be flexible with what they're doing... part of being an independent artists means having your hands in the business all the time, so they bring in a lot of ideas about it.

I do think we have a long way to go in terms of the culture around women still being career women, and asking a woman about her career and her work, just seeing them as fully validated human beings in the workplace.

I think having musical training as a child was really, really important. I studied piano as a child. Piano is a great instrument to understand musical theory on. I think I have that in my brain somewhere.

Corin Tucker

I feel really privileged that I've been able to be an activist and a musician for over 20 years now, and I've always been able to say whatever I want. I think that's something we Americans really take for granted, but it's a big deal, and it's not something most people in the world are able to do.

When in doubt, I always go vintage! Get a ruffled dress and throw a t-shirt over it.

I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.

When I started playing music, it was all face-to-face.

The first show I ever played was the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, Washington. It was girl night, and I was in Heavens To Betsy. I had just turned 18.
