"Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say." ― Kristin Hersh Topic(s): Movies More From Kristin Hersh "The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It’s as close as I get to a religion." "I’ve always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence." "That’s my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them."

When I was in high school, I saw ‘Doctor Zhivago’ every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater."― John Hughes "Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations."― Oliver Stone
