Because I write what I feel the most heavy about. So if there is one day of the week when I feel completely crushed by existential dread, I'll end up writing about it, not the great day I had at the park with my friends. I hope it resonates with people - and it does, with some.

You look at Taylor Swift, and every 'i' is dotted, every story is finished.

Phoebe Bridgers

When I'm writing, I try to think about what would make a song better before worrying about personal opinions.

Phoebe Bridgers

I'm obsessed with Elliott Smith, which is very common knowledge.

Phoebe Bridgers

But me writing sad songs doesn't mean I am a sad person.

Phoebe Bridgers

People are realising that vulnerability isn't a weakness, and the rise of mental health-related humour is making vulnerability feel like a strength.

Phoebe Bridgers

I'm marrying everybody I fall in love with.

Phoebe Bridgers

I love Sylvan Esso. I want to bring in more electronic elements, but also some analogue stuff. Stuff like '70s drum machines really fascinates me.

The more specific you are about a very general feeling of loneliness is actually how you connect with people.

Phoebe Bridgers

I didn't go to college and I worked so I could play music. That was my goal.

Phoebe Bridgers

Sometimes I just need somebody to tell me a bunch of ideas I don't like, so that I can figure out what it is I actually want.

Phoebe Bridgers

The Replacements don't sound like The Replacements half the time!

Phoebe Bridgers

Once in a blue moon I'll have some sort of concept song or it will be about a bunch of different things, but yeah, it's all from experiences.

Phoebe Bridgers

There is nothing more useless than an album that you don't feel strongly about, out in the world.

Phoebe Bridgers

I did a CBS thing when I was a teenager that was a 'Music Minute' or something.

Phoebe Bridgers

I think the main thing which boygenius and I talk about ad nauseum, is that I feel like I just apologise for myself less.

Phoebe Bridgers

A lot of my close friends are musicians and are consumed by the idea of death; their heads are like a torture chamber. I'm not like that - I don't have death anxiety and I don't think about it all the time.

Phoebe Bridgers

Whenever I write songs, it's my outlet for a certain feeling. I just don't as often feel compelled to write when I'm not really sad about something, or wanting to sort through something dark.
