Quotes by Cat Power
I used to want to be a war photographer, and I used to want to be a ballerina and a comedian. I used to want to be a writer. I invalidated myself; it's a mistake for me.
I still haven’t been able to capture the joy of what it’s like when I sing – you know, when I’m by myself, or like when I was a little kid.
We’re always going to remind ourselves of our mistakes and how we do things differently, trying to be a better person or whatever.
I got told I needed a producer I don’t know how many times – maybe 27 times, 30? Then I recently got told ‘I’m so proud of you.’ That was even more great to hear.
