“My goal is to become a therapist by the time I'm 50.” — Sharon Van Etten Quote

“My goal is to become a therapist by the time I'm 50.”

“I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great.”

“I have a lot of alter-egos: I would love to be a back-up singer for someone someday. I have an electronic side-project. I have a '90s grunge side project; I have a piano project... I have this industrial, goth-electronic song, super creepy sounding, just really dark and dreary.”

“I think everyone's intentions are to become a performer at first. But by the time I was in high school and college, I discovered that I liked writing and that I was probably a little better at it.”

“We toured for close to three years after 'Undertow' came out, so by the time we started to work on 'AEnima,' we had matured as functional musicians, and that changes your sound completely. Once you have that kind of freedom, an idea will come into your head and you can do it justice.”

“I'd never even seen a play by the time I was 24 years old.”
