“I think that there are a lot of things that come along with being a mu...” — Tift Merritt Quote

I think that there are a lot of things that come along with being a musician, but I don't want to whine about them. I don't want to complain about my job.

Music is like a really sacred, awesome thing. That first 45 minutes to two hours that you're on stage spending time with music every night is always really great.

I don't want to be overly philosophical, but I think there are things you earn for yourself as you go.

As much as I love being a singer-songwriter, I love throwing down on stage and letting it all out.

Sometimes when you're writing on a ukulele, you're in a totally new land, rhythmically or melodically.

I just try to go to the pitch and finish the game not being able to complain to myself knowing I have given everything.

It takes incredible fortitude to keep on the road, even though it's fun and it's rewarding and you can't complain - it's just a great life - but, you know, it takes a lot of energy.

I actually feel like women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn't complain when we consider all of the people who are really struggling and don't have the means or support. Many people are single, raising children. That's hard.

I don't actually think I'm treated unfairly or anything. If anything, I sometimes can't understand why I don't see myself and the people I know represented more in films. Unless I'm going to go out and write them myself, I don't feel like I can really complain about it.
