Quotes by Christine Anderson

“Music chose me, not the other way around.”

“Making music to me is so much more important than being a star. If I could choose whether to be very famous right now or respected and understood a hundred years after I die, Id choose the second option.”

“I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to do is beawake and aware of your environment,and that enables you totransform everything around you.It sounds like hocus pocus, butscientists are coming to realize thatjust thinking about something canmake it happen. Turns out maybefaith can move mountains.”

“Itll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.”

“No matter what, ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Any doubts must be put out of your mind. If you find yourself thinking something negative, figure out who it was who put that thought in your head... then acknowledge that its not your thought, push it out of your mind, and say, Im awesome!”

“Since obtaining a greater understanding of quantum physics, I am beginning to draw conclusions about why things happen the way they do. Specifically, I have learned that everything outside of me is a mirror of what is inside of me. I have also learned how to infect the quantum field or manifest reality by concentrating on particular ideas that I want to call into existance. My career success is due in large part to this new understanding of quantum physics, combined with the love and trust I share with Brian [Lewis].”

“Build up your creditBuild up your self esteemBuild up your bank accountMoving up in the sceneEveryones living the American Dream so we canBuild up an armyAnd SMASH it to pieces!”

“Dreaming is not enough. You have to go a step further and use your imagination to visualize, with intent! Forget everything youve ever been taught, and believe it will happen, just as you imagined it. That is the secret. That is the mystery of life.”

“99 bottles of Vicodin...”

“Ive learned a great deal about music through my experiences. Ive learned of its sanctity. Of its holiness. Ive learned that music is a very powerful force, not to be trivialized or watered down or maufactured into soul-less, mindless drivel. Selling out to the corporate butcher would secure me a nice little place in hell, I knew. So I determined early on to make it on my own.”

“Theres a clock on the wall and its measuring downThe time you have left til youre dust on the groundThe people you love with the time that youve gotDetermine if you are rememebered or not v i v a l a m o u r”

“When I was really little, I wanted to be like Schroeder from the Peanuts comics. There was something about that Beethoven hed play that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.”

“I kind of like things slightly out of tune. It makes me feel... intoxicated almost... but in a good way. Like Im at a carnival in a dream. Not sure that makes sense, but I do have pretty good pitch recognition. I see colors for different key signatures, notes, etc.”

“Life aint more than gameboard spaceWith hoops to jump and dreams to chaseAnd one day fatell put us all in our placeGoing going goneAnd one day God might come on backWith a summer tan and a CadillacTime, hell laugh, why I just lost trackWhat else could he really say?”

“The world is glittering with gold, and yellow streamers of sunlight wind through the tree boughs like God was throwing a party!”

“Ive been relying very heavily on my instincts as of late, and my songwriting has come to depend on my ability to surrender to the inspiration whenever it strikes. When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I havent premeditated. This is pure instinct. Its like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. Thats basically how I songwrite when Im composing impromptu pieces. Its a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And its super fun, because anything can happen! Its pure creativity.”
