Kim Gordon Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Kim Gordon:

Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think.

I don't even know if I always entirely get what I'm trying to say right away with lyrics. I like a lot of things that are more subtext. I grew up mishearing lyrics my whole life, but somehow there's so much more, too, that's implied in vocal delivery and the music itself and the gestural quality of it.

Kim Gordon

I've done art on my own, and I've also collaborated with other people to make art. And collaborating with other people is always interesting because you end up doing things you probably wouldn't do otherwise.

Kim Gordon

I'll leave a store if I hate the music. If it's just, like, techno, I feel like my brain is going to explode.

Kim Gordon

I love the way Lady Gaga finds humour in fashion, but it's still very stylised.

Kim Gordon

I mean, most of it is probably more obscure and just more noisy than either of those two bands, but Thurston has stuff all the time that he's involved with that is fairly obscure and experimental.

Kim Gordon

It's really hard for me to sing and play bass.

Kim Gordon

I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.

Kim Gordon

I think of myself as unconventional, I guess. I maybe always had a problem with authority, like a stubbornness about what's expected - despite wanting to get some recognition through performing - but also not always wanting to do the expected thing.

Kim Gordon

I just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years.

Kim Gordon

Well, it was kind of accidental that Jim started playing with us, although it wasn't sudden... we hadn't really looked around to think who could be a fifth member.

Kim Gordon

No one talks about woman power. The Spice Girls - they're masquerading as little girls. It's repulsive.

Kim Gordon

Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think.

Kim Gordon

Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.

Kim Gordon

I went to art school, and I wanted to be an artist since I was 5. I basically moved to New York to do art, and I just sort of fell into doing music at an early age.

Kim Gordon

Because our daughters have school and it's just such a hassle going down to New York all the time, we can really only go on the weekends, we kind of... Steve came up here and worked out stuff for the second half of the record.

Kim Gordon

I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do.

Kim Gordon

I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else.

Kim Gordon

In a lot of the art world, you have to present yourself as you know what you're doing at a young age. Music gave me another outlet. The 'no wave' bands were such an inspiration; it felt so free - once you start doing it, it's hard to stop. But I can't get away from art. It comes back around. I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't pursue it.

Kim Gordon

There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do.

Kim Gordon

But everything has been so gradual that it's sort of all come from, just hard work and basically being at it.

Kim Gordon

I just happened to start playing music for the conceptual ideas.

Kim Gordon

You know, we have our own audience, and it's not like - they just know we're not going to do certain things.

Kim Gordon

It's hard to say when the life of a band starts and stops... but playing music together is an act of trust. When that's broken, it's impossible to continue.

Kim Gordon

The last two records I liked playing a lot.

Kim Gordon

And then, I was thinking of doing a record just like starting with voice, because I did this one song that was just kind of a cappella, and I did it for this art piece I did where people could come and play music to go with a voice.

Kim Gordon

I'm a mom, but I don't always want to look just like that.

Kim Gordon

It's really hard for me to sing and play bass. Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.

Kim Gordon

I wasn't very confident about clothes; I was always hunting through racks, never sure what looked right. It can be like that again when you're older.

Kim Gordon

I think that certainly, whenever you have a new band, the first record always has a certain energy to it before you know what you're doing. I think some of the early Sonic Youth stuff was maybe like that.

Kim Gordon

I still don't really feel like a bass player.

Kim Gordon

I was very aware of performers who have a persona, whether it's Siouxsie Sioux or Patti Smith or Lydia Lunch, and I'm just this middle-class girl coming from a more conventional upbringing, this California person. But in a way I felt like it's important to represent the normal.

Kim Gordon

You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.

Kim Gordon

I do retweet some of the things that people say about the things I've done, but I don't necessarily want to use it to promote myself because I find that it gets kind of boring. There should just be a whole different site for that. Because it's just kind of boring and gross to use it just self-promotion.
