chatter figured louder people playing slowly whose
Something that I think I figured out slowly was if you're playing a show and there's a chatter or there is, you know, a lot of noise - people talking or something - I was never the one whose instinct was to try to be louder than them.
suddenly wrote
When I wrote 'Mushaboom', I was living in the second verse, but I suddenly found myself in the first.
brutally leaking therapy worth
I need therapy after writing. It's like leaking blood from a stone. It's brutally difficult but worth it.
appeals itself proper spent time
I've not really spent much time in proper studios. The room itself where you're recording, and how you live while you're there is what appeals to me.

changing interact ourselves shifting
I get really scared about how the Internet is shifting and changing everyone's minds, and the way we see ourselves and interact online. Everything is so diluted now.
accurate album far felt
I made the first Feist album in '98. So at that point, it was my nickname. It was as far as with my circle of friends, and just felt more accurate than two names.
enormous goes squeeze
You're an enormous sponge and everything goes in there and you squeeze it out in songs, I guess. And if you're a painter, you squeeze them out on to a canvas.

The real serious runners are at the front of the pack.

Also, it's risky to try to duplicate earlier success. Magician had a certain charm to it, mostly due to my choice of lead characters, that I would be hard put to duplicate.
